Sandhill Crane Taking Off at Sunset

Nikon D1h, 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-S, Matrix Metering, 1/40sec, f/2.8, ISO 400, SB-28Dx, -1.7ev Fill, Better Beamer, Handheld, RAW Format

I really pumped the contrast of this iamge by using the Levels Tool in Photoshop. The idea here was to emphasize the bird against the background corn field with an adjustment to its tone.
