Boy, this has become the shorebird bathing/after bath wing flap/jump year for so far this fall migration! Again the opportunity presented itself, and I got four cracks at it from four different individuals. I really dug the pose on this one best.
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4 TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/2500s., f/5.6, ISO 1600, natural light, handheld, cropped for comp, contrast and saturation tweaks to taste.
Love the high key look and those flaring tertials. Strange that the tertials on the bird's right side appear so much darker than the corresponding feathers on its left side. All else beyond reproach.
with love, artie
Hi Daniel,
Love the pose you caught and nice low perspective. High key works well.

Sweet frame. Bird really looks like it is giving its all in this jump. Neat pose.
Very artistic high key frame. Would have loved to have a bit more freeze on the wings, but your settings show
you didn't really have anyway to go faster!
Great angel pose, low POV, and attractive high-key presentation.
