Image captured in the Okavango Delta back in November 2010. A shutterspeed of 1/30sec was used to create the effect. I shot many frames, and managed this incredibly still head position of the bird.
All comments welcome!

Wow. That is spectacular - extraordinary still head position. I am blown away
:cheers:
I am curious about the colours though - this guy seems a bit yellow/brown and balck rather than white and black?
Also what equipment were you using? And is this a full-frame?
Thanks for sharing

Thanks alot for the comment! This image was captured very early morning, hence the slight orange/warm glow on the bird. Was captured using a Nikon D3s and 600 f4, about 80% of full frame.

Hey bud...I really like the idea...Head is pin and the wing blur looks good.
