The picture of this Yellow-crowned Night-heron in flight was taken at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. It was taken with the CANON EOS7D with the CANON 100-400mm lens.
In the case of this picture, I like the “graininess” of the finished picture which makes it look somewhat painterly. Also there is a softness about the finished picture which fits the hot hazy summer day that I took that I took the capture.
