Lowkey pidgeon

[Overread]

Well I have hardly had a moment to really try out my 70-200mm (been packing) but here is one shot I did get that I am very please with:

f2.8, ISO 200, 1/1600sec

Taken from outside the cage (so wire already lost through f2.8) and against a dark cage background - outside but well in the shade. Thus I was able to boost the blacks to get the lowkey effect


comments and crits welcome - thanks

Very nice detail. Looks like he's watching you out of the corner of his pidgeon eye
