Lapwing

[Jonathan Ashton]

Canon 7D Canon 500mm f4 L IS hand held ISO 320 1/6400 sec f5
I regularly see the lapwings as I walk my dog Barney in the mornings, this time I managed to capture a few flight images, , next time I will try to ensure the light is directly behind me, it proved impossible this time - the birds just wouldn't play ball!!

All C & C welcome.

I like the full downstroke of the wings and the nice eye contact. The right light angle helps, but it doesn't look like it hurt you too much here. I might open up the dark areas a little.
