Evening light at the Bosque

1D4, 700mm,
1/2000, f5.6, iso 800, manual, hand held

I was lucky enough to get some great light during my visit to the Bosque last month.
I can never get tired of these geese (and I have lots to process), but I hope I'm not boring you with too many of these.

Evicted a couple of sandhill crane heads from the bottom of the frame.
There was a faint horizontal streak (still visible) in the bg that I blended in softly. NR on BG.

Better position on the far wing would've been nice. On my wishlist for the next visit there, whenever that is.

You have posted some great images of the SNGO so far, Sidharth. Keep them coming. The background looks very nice, makes the bird pop. Perfect exposure control, nice clean picture.

That's a gorgeous photo! The catch light makes it for me, sometimes they are hard to come by with these guys.

nicely done

Sweet shot in that gorgeous Bosque light.
Another perfectly exposed flight photo.

Beautiful shot.
That background is just amazing.
Excellent pose, exposed perfectly, lovely light, and nice details.
Very well done.

Hi Sid, now you are just showing off. :w3 You cant beat that light, which in turn has given you good exposure on the goose. I do like the swept back wing position,and hanging legs for the incoming landing. The goose is sharp, and the BG is sweeeet. :w3

Sidharth:
Excellent landing pose with beautiful wing stretch captured.Very nice exposure,lights and lovely backdrop.
Love the details in whites.

Satish.

Thanks you all the comments.

Beautiful, I really like the background colors and how it offsets the white feathers of the goose.

Wow what a fantastic image, the light is surely magical.
Exposure on the whites looks spot on to me
the pose is wonderfully captured ,

Sidharth-

Couldn't have asked for a better wing position, in better light, with a better background. Nice tie-in of all three of these components.

Super stunning image, great bg and colours, well exposed subject with great detail and lovely pose.

A great wing position with a beautiful orange background make this a standout image Sidharth.

Thanks again, folks, for viewing and commenting.

I like the incoming pose, exposure, IQ and sweet BG. Excellent image Sid!

Ah...grear light and wing position. gotta love that BG color and the details. One heck of a shot, Siddharth.

Sweet light, sweet pose and fantastic background!
