Hand held in a rib

Having really struggled in the swell of the ocean, it suddenly came to me as we got back in harbour, I should have tried Liveview - especially for the dolphins.

A good shot but would have been better with the near wing also in focus, but I guess that is motion blur. Also a bit flat and could do with a bit if levels adjustment all IMHO.
I am sure it was difficult to get this fine shot of the shearwater from a moving rib - well done!
It may not be the best wing position though. I would have preferred the near wing in an upright position not covering the body of the bird.
Regards Steen
With that near-wing sticking right in our face it is a miracle that the eye is sharp. I see two white halos along the bottom of the bird, especially prominent at the rear. Did you make some sort of selectin?
with love, artie
Thanks for the feedback, I have some more perhaps in poses you may prefer.
Artie - eagle eye:w3, yes in ACR I lifted the exposure of the bird, I selected auto mask and did not refine it.... Lesson learned!
I'd love to get a shot of this guy. The bird is nice and sharp except for the motion-blurred wings; with a good HA. Not an easy one to capture. One with a raised near wing would also be good.
First off what is a rib? The bird is nice and sharp i like the flight pose here. The water background is nice.
Bill I may have something to follow.Quote:

Hey Jonathan, thank you for posting a bird I have not seen before. The head, bill, and tail feathers are so unique. I think you did good know how fast the bird must have been flying and then throw in being in a moving boat, well done. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Jo glad you liked it......I'll not tell you how many went in the recycle bin!Quote:
