30 second exposure taken last night just before sunset. Not long ago the pylons were deep beneath the lake.

Taken at Dufferin Island, Niagara Falls, K3ii with Sigma 120-400 lens, 1/350 f5.6 at iso 1000. i'm not really a birder, but it was a beautiful afternoon, so I gave it a shot.

And a well-taken shot it was.

A couple of suggestions. White balance, glass throws off the tint. A couple clicks of saturation would bring back more of the natural colour. It'a low contrast image. It shouldn't be. Boost the exposure a bit to keep the darker areas from fading to black and a couple clicks of contrast will liven things up a bit. And a definition brush on the fur will really help with the micro contrast.

There's not a lot more difficult than trying to get images taken through glass to look natural.
