Black-necked Stilt flight

One of my favorite birds. I love to watch them flying in flocks and foraging in the water.

7D, EF400mm f/5.6L
Manual mode, f/5.6@1/4000 ISO 400 WB 5100K
AI Servo autofocus, hand-held no flash

excellent details and pose, great that you got the red eye too. wish the head was more parallel to the back of camera.

Thanks Arash! I agree that a slight head turn my way would have been killer...

Very nice, Kerry. Other the HA, exposure and the details are excellent.

Kerry, Sharp, well exposed and beautiful flight pose. I too wish for a slight head turn but I'd still like to have this one.:S3:

Beautiful flight shot, especially catching the eye and the color of the wings. Just a little head turn or having him fly a bit toward you would have put this over the top.
