Eastern Willet in Flight

[Jim Fenton]

Fairly early morning, but just after the sun had become a tad higher than I would have liked.

Nikon D300, 500 VR, ISO 500, UniWB Preset, f7.1, 1/1000, CW metering with +1 EV compensation.

Nice capture Jim,
I like the composition, and exposure. You have sharp details and good eye contact. I do see a small hot spot on the belly...:cool:

[Alfred Forns]

Phenomenal Jim !!!! Impressive image Love the wing position, eye contact and wing detail !!! Big Congrats on this one !!!!

[Mike Milicia]

Killer flight pose captured perfectly !
The open bill puts it over the top for me.
Congrats !

Great pose, details and the open bill adds to it. Maybe a tad less contrast.
