Another crawl around the river these guys were very inquisitive but never got too close - and they dont stay still for long. A fair size crop.

D3
Nikon 300mm F2.8 with 1.7 Converter
F4.8
1/1000th
+0.3EV
400 ISO

Cropped and sharpened. Reds desaturated a bit - late afternoon light.
BG could have been better (will save that one for later)

Comments appreciated.

Nicely done Lance,
I like the ultra low capture angle. The color rendition and sharp details are superb...I like the wide sharp eye on this fellow. Love the raised foot...and the background compliments him very well...good show...:cool:

Lance, Great shot- love the foot lifted and the angle-great job!

[Nonda Surratt]

While I do like the raised foot, I love that eye! Nice Lance!

Crop held up will for posting Lance Really nice image Nothing not to like here !! Were they still staying away after you were laying there for a while? Normally they get curious and move in !!

Exposure and details look great Lance. Neat looking bird. Sit-ups will help those stomach muscles:) when on a stealth approach.

[Harold Davis]

[christopher galeski]

very nice shot lance,thanks for showing.

[Lance Peters]

Thanks everyone - Al no - they stayed for a few minutes then went on their way - they are so fast when you are lying on the ground its hard to even get your gear in a position to even be able to follow them.

sit ups it is!!

Excellent capture Lance, specially the low angle and the look on this guy.
