Ottawa West

Unlike my previous two postings, this image is as shot with only cropping and slight adjustments to shadows, hi-lites and sharpness. No background added or modified here. The Goldeneye was simply swimming through a small channel in the ice trying to get away from me. To see the two previous postings with modified background click "Next" "Next".

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor 500mm f/4D IF-ED AF-S II
1/3200s f/8.0 at 500.0mm iso250 full exif

Good one Hank. The surrounding ice really gives this cold winter feel. Nice control of the exposure.

I like the icy background. I know they are able to sustain the cold but it gives me a chill.
