A Grey heron landed on a rooftop of one of the buildings opposite my apartment. Too far away for my 300mm, too far for my 400mm so I couldn't resist and mounted the 800/11. And still had to crop big time.
I hate the background even though I applied a tiny bit of a blur to soften it up.

A heavy blur combined with all sorts of things like de-contrast, gamma correction, offset, you name it. Until I got this. I quite like it. For now. But it's the kind of thing that I will probably hate tomorrow...
