I captured this image as the BTGD took off from the short ground cover in June of 2012 trip to Iceland. It was a little after 9:00 PM. C&C welcome.
D3s, Nikon 500mm, 1/800s, f 8, ISO 2500, Gitzo tripod, Wimberley Gimbal head.

Pretty cool Geoffrey. I love the FG and BG blending with the light conditions you had. I like the flight pose and colours on the bird. Was it a high ISO?
Thanks for sharing

I really like the feeling of this one. Great environmental shot, with the Godwit in a perfect flight pose. The layers of background color, and the yellow flowers, really add to the image.

Love the wide angle feel of this environmental shot, and it really tells a great story. The calling pose is a huge plus.

I like what you went for here, nicely seen. I realize is small in the frame on a small web version, but I think that as posted the subject could stand a bit more sharpening. This view gives us a nice idea of the habitat :-)
