An iconic Quebec winter scene.

Taken with my usual Canon gear - this time with my trusty 100-400L f4.5-5.6 lens handhaeld at 1/1600, f/10, ISO 200.

Who says the 100-400 is a bad lens?

With this shot, I had to slightly level the horizon, I cropped to an 8 x 16 format for exposition framing. After sharpening, I despeckled everything but the bird for added emphasis.

My biggest headache with this image was to clone out 150-200 small highlight relection spots in the snow.

Cheers,

Mike
