Hi out there!

This is my first posting, I'll try to bring some more European birds to Nature Scapes. My first image is a juvenile Shag of the mediterranean race "desmarestii", photographed on my recent trip to Corsica/France.

I hope, someday I can post photos showing some action, but without an autofocus lens, this is very hard for me at the moment.

Fuji Finepix S3 pro + Nikon f4/500mm MF at ISO 200

regards, Leander/16

Great first post Leander! :) Welcome to NSN ! :wink: I think you can apply some more contrast and USM to make this lovely portrait even better!

An excellent first post and welcome, Leander!
Agree with Ofer on contrast and sharpening there ...

Welcome to NSN. A fine shot that needs only some minor tweaks. I like the water bg too, reminds me of shooting cormorants here in La Jolla.
