On The Alert

[Jim Fenton]

As I was photographing migrating shorebirds this past weekend, this one bird in particular would stand at attention far in advance of my eyes being able to pick up the peregrines cruising high above.

Nikon D300, 500 AFSVR, TC14EII, ISO 500, F 8, 1/2000, CW Metering, 0EV, NearUniWB preset

Love the alert pose and a very pleasing composition with good exposure and detail. Very nice image Jim and thanks for sharing.

Cool pose and good light. The bird looks a bit oversharpened on my monitor.
