Everglades Snail Kite Landing Screaming

[Michael Stern]

Hi,
What a treat to have the opportunity to photograph these birds as long as they are here! Here is a one that favored me landing with a scream yesterday! Hope you like it as much as I do!

I love gthe light and the screaming atitude! The wings look very nice too. I woul've try to give him more room at the bottom. Congratulations!

Ps: Could recomend me a good place to go in the Everglades while I am in Miami? Please PM me if you can!

Excellent Snail Kite that this Florida Boy has never seen in real life before. Thanks for posting a fabulous sharp image as this. bf

[Arthur Morris]

Quite excellent. I am fine with the framing. You might try de-SATing the red iris a bit.

Hi Michael,

I'm glad you took my advice and posted the image. As I told you looks a little over sharpened but an excellent image. Nice meeting you all you folks and thank you for the support to BPN.

Dear Michael,

I'm so glad you finally got one you like! Looking good from here, will see you soon :)

Congrats on one killer image Michael,
This is one fine capture with an attitude...:cool:

I like the framing, but it looks a touch light to me. Perhaps just my monitor, it is not calibrated. Love that pose. You captured a beauty! :)
