Black-Necked Stilt

[Doug Brown]

One from yesterday. I love to get the stilts against this pretty green BG, but it's tough to get them in focus. I tracked this one as it came in from above, and was able to keep focus locked as it came down low.

Very nice pose, eye contact and BG. The upper mandible looks a bit odd.

I'd love to comment on the image, but for some reason its not coming up on my computer. I guess it must have for Axel. Other images on other posts are coming up fine. ?????

I can't see it either!!!

It appears that the site I use to host the image is down temporarily. Hopefully it'll be back soon. If not I'll load it directly onto BPN.

Nice BG, pose and details, some whites look a bit hot, but this is still a great shot, this guys at flight are not easy at al! Congratulations!
