Hi Richard!
That's a fair comment. And "active" is an interesting, yet effective word
to describe the background.
In fact, it's a pebbled, rocky beach. Had the tide been in, it would have
been a nice, even-ish blue background... but when the tide was there, the
eagle wasn't!
I just went back and looked at the original shot. What you've seen is
about 1/6th of the original frame. The vertical was cropped from a
horizontal shot, and the height you see, is about 2/3rds the height of the
frame.
The detail isn't the best, but I like the shot. Thus, your 4.5 out of 5 is
fair. Given [a] a zoom lens and [b] a 1.4 converter and [c] the level of
crop, I think it's pretty good, on a technical level.
Thanks for taking the time to look, and to comment.
David.
