7D, f/8, iso 320, 1/1250, 500mm.

Really liked the HA and the body position here, the wings could certainly be better but still like the shot.

Lightened the shadow a little on the near wing.

Looks like a good day yesterday. Wolf Lake or KBS?

Nice colors, well exposed, great feet!

If this isn't full frame, I might crop it just a bit looser.

Keep them coming!!

Thanks Randy, ended up going to KBS. It's about 80% of the original so I do have some extra room. Wolf Lake should pick up once the Warblers and the like start showing up in a month or so.:S3:

Which bubbler hole were you by, or out on the point? I am guessing bubbler hole because of the landing. Great that you got them in so close.

Cheers

Nice overall pose in what looks like nice soft sunlight. I like the far wing and wish the near one's primaries were as nicely spaced. I agree with more room. The green sheen looks great!

Actually most of the time in between the two. They were flying in between the point and the bubbler by the bridge. This guy landed in front of me.
