Longtail

Shot this at Barnegat last week. Not as dramatic as some of the very nice flight shots recently posted but I thought it was an interesting angle.

Got to love that face and up turned tail Dave !!! Good job holding the whites, tough bird to expose !!!

Really love the look and the exposure and great colors here but I would much rather of the eye out of the center of the frame.

I think you should name him Alfalfa!Wonderful shot! Very cute and interesting with the hollowed out water area.

Excellent sharpness and exposure with an interesting pose to go with it, Dave. What an interesting depression in the water around the bird - looks like it's swimming inside a bowl or something. :)

Thanks for the comments folks...

Hey Dave - What a beautiful face on this little critter and you captured it perfectly. Love the waves as well.

Well exposed Dave. Love the pose too. Well done mate. Don't let Roman see you post birds, he may slap ya! :D ;)
