Hi Dominic!

Really great picture. Fantastic catch.

Question:
Did you do some resharpening in post?
Some of the snowflakes and the fur made me think of that.
If yes: my opinion would be that that was not needed.
If no: sorry for the guess, great sharpness and forget about it ;)

But thanks for your pic and your reply in advance.

Hello Maximilian!

You are correct, there is sharpening in this processing. I'll have to redo it without and see the difference. Thank you for your input, it is much appreciated :)

Thank you for your honest answer and the appreciation.
It was not meant as good or bad but just about taste.
And I also do sharpening myself, but try to do as cautious as possible.
Please tell me, to what conclusion you did come. :)

Hello Maximilian :)

I tried a new version and compared it. Without it seems to be missing something. I think the best version would be between the two, with just a tad of sharpening but not as much as in the one I posted.

Just caught a thief in the act!

This wild grey heron took the opportunity to steel some fish from the penguin's pool at the local zoo in Basel, Switzerland. All photos shot with the 7D MkII and the 100-400 II.

I didn't think that the heron would plunge into the water. The bird managed to keep his wings in the air. The body was completely under water for a short moment.
