Yeah, I Know, I think this is on the verge of kitsch - but maybe just barely on the "right" side

Just another reef egret. Curious enough to check what's going on with the camera and stuff.

Watched this morning blackheaded gulls and a tern mobbing a grey heron who landed on their small island. They successfully drove him away. The 5DSR and 100-400mm II is able to pick up the flying birds against a background (centre spot focus).

Nice shots, Alan.

Nice story. I was wondering how long the gull and the tern stayed together after that.

I thought it was about time to start sharing photos again and give some direction to my photography.

Mike as a matter of personal interest, as I like to gauge the performance of cameras and lenses from real posts like this, is this a 100% crop or did you downsize?

Hi Alan
This is 1Dx2 with 400mm DO ii cropped from 5400 to 3700 on the long side and output at 1200x800. ISO 1600, 1/2000 sec
The new texture slider in LR added a nice level of detail without pushing sharpening.

Mind you, the lighting helped a lot
