Pintail

Here's one from Hokkaido, Japan

Olympus E-3, Olympus 50-200mm, 200mm, f2.8/3.5, ISO400, 1/1600, f5.6

Great to see one in flight. I like the details, head angle and eye contact. The wing position adds interest. The bird could go a tad lighter for my taste.

Take off or landing? I assume take off. Good capture of a quick bird.



A Plus 1/3EV may not hurt it.

Nice timing and a very lovely and interesting flight pose. Congratulations Dennis.

I'm amazed you could get that size image at 200mm. You blind must have been very close. Nice detail.

that is a very interesting pose. i love the soft light on the bird. congrats!

Lovely flying posture, and pin sharp where it counts. Very well captured.

Neat take off pose Dennis.
