In Flight Black-Necked Stilt

[Thomas Finnie]

I heard a sharp, yipping call and turned around just in time to see and to capture an image of a slim Black-Necked Stilt flying by with its extremely long pinkish legs trailing behind.

I think the pose looks good. I might give it a bit more room up front. Colour temp looks warm, but might have been morning or evening light. Well captured considering the short time you had.

Nice sharp capture with good eye contact. I think it is a bit tight in the frame. If it was my image I would increase the canvas size.

Hi Jackie,

The picture was captured as the sun was setting at the end of the day hence the warmthness as you remarked.

Thanks for your kind comments. :(

Hi Allan,

I appreciate your nice remarks and thanks for your suggestions for the tightness. :(
