Canon 5D Mark III with my 500L f4 lens handheld as usual @ 1/1000, f9.5, ISO 400, no exposure compensation.

I had several choices as to presentation. I chose to crop close at original ratio for that dynamic look, although I did clip the wings.

I processed this one on the fly on my laptop instead of my main computer, therefore colours and white-balance contamination may vary. I applied selective sharpening only to the face.

I could have crop to a sleek 1:2 ratio to get in more of the wings, or I could have kept it at the original ratio without crop to preserve the full wings and to emphasise the Snowy's fore and background environment. All three presentations are acceptable, yet different - three for the price of one!

Cheers,

Mike
