Ok, so no ice cubes here. I took this summer before last at the jetty in Ocean Shore's, WA. Great place to photograph Wandering Tattler, Ruddy and Black Turnstones, and Surfbirds. I cropped a bit from the top on this one for composition and did some minor cloning in the dark area below to remove part of a second OOF bird. The catchlight was also added post scanning.

Minolta XTsi body
Sigma 170-500mm handheld
2x converter (? I think I had it on)
F13, SS unrecorded
Provia 100 pushed 2 stops

Thanks!

Michael

What a nice image, Michael.

The BG really complements this beauty. Composition, focus and exposure look right on to me.
