Beautiful.
You have given 2020 a positive swing that is really (nice) positive, a contribution to the Year 2020 Collection. As always, the competition will be tough, which, as an added consequence, makes the victory taste very sweet. Good luck and probably for the … time: Happy New Year and stay healthy in 2021!

Location
The shot was taken at Bolsa Chica Wetlands, Huntington BeachTime
Time of shot is middayLighting
The lighting was bright but the background was darkEquipment
Canon 7D II, Canon 400 DO with 1.4 hand heldInspiration
I love to take photos or birds. At the time I took this shot, I did not realize what the outcome would be with the bird bright and background dark.Editing
I shoot in raw, so I do the typical post processing of levels and brightness. I also darkened the background to make the bird stand out even moreIn my camera bag
Currently I have a Canon R5, Canon 7D II, Canon 100-400L III, Canon 100-500L, 70-200 2.8L III, 70-300L, and assorted other L lensesFeedback
Sometimes you cannot predict the outcome when you take a shot. With white birds, you definitely have to make sure you meter on the bird using a spot meter, otherwise the bird will be washed out with a large loss of detail
