This is a later afternoon shot. Love the shadow of a wing on the picket.

Canon 5D Mark III with my 500L f4 lens handheld as usual @ 1/1000, f11, ISO 400, no exposure compensation.

Cropped to s vertical format.

Despeckled the background, (the whole image is despeckled, then with the history brush, I paint over the bird and picket to remove the despeckling. Slight selective sharpening of the face only.

Cheers,

Mike
