Snow Bunting Camouflage

[Axel Hildebrandt]

This snow bunting was on ice, the AF system of my Mark III really struggled to keep him in focus.

Lovely pose, great GREAT light, awesome color and detail as well as terrific exposure control. Congratulations!

Well, you managed to get him well focused :) Lovely, may have to visit you ;)

Beautiful. He almost seems to float. Head angle seems to be slightly to the opposite direction.

Great work on this difficult species. I like how you've got him anchoring himself on the ice with his feet and tail. Very clean. Might the head benefit from a tiny bit more sharpening?

Very good exposure, taking into account the clarity of the site. Congratulations.

Thanks for share!!!

Thanks, Bob! It's usually a little break they take or if they inspect me after hearing the shutter.

Very lovely image Axel with great exposure, pose, eye contact and composition. Congratulations on a fine image.

Nice job Axel. Another vote for just a little additional sharpening of the head.
