RE: PESO -- Cold Spring Morning
I chose ISO 800 because it was needed in the light. The sun was still low and the shadow side of the bird was still a bit dark. I was hand holding so I needed sufficient shutter speed to for sharpness. 800 worked. Were it bright enough I would have preferred a lower ISO. Thanks for your comment!
