Rhinoceros Auklet (c)

Canon 1D-X, 300mm x 2.0 TC, handheld
f6.3, 1/640, ISO4000

Another portrait from the Sea Bird Aviary at the Seward SeaLife Center in Seward, Alaska.

Full frame. Slight sharpening. I'd have liked a bit more depth of field but conditions didn't permit it.

C & C, please. Thanks for looking.

Yet another Inspiring Portrait Jim,
The way you manage the detail, the light and the BG sets the bar quite high.
I'm not sure about more DOF however, looks pretty good as is . . . :toast:

Sweet, Jim. Just curious as to whether you had to do much noise reduction at that iso?

A tripod would have helped since you could have used a slower shutter speed but more DOF.

Nice portrait.
