Flight in low light

One from this evening, the light was overcast and quite poor, happy to got this one sharp!

Attachment 88972

1D4 700mm f/5.6 1/2500sec ISO 1600.

Beautiful capture Arash. Love the low flight angle, color rendition and details. The diffuse light was good to you.

Exceptional job considering low light conditions Arash.

Fantastic! Looks quite clean for iso 1600!! Well done!!

Beautiful image, Arash. Love the wings down position and the colors. Excellent exposure for the light you had.

Exceptional shot considering the overcast conditions !!

Agree with Rakesh lovely freeze

Arash, Nice flight pose showing all the lovely colors. I think you did great w/ the lighting conditions.:S3:

Fantastic shot, weather helped with shadows but one would always prefer golden light. The bird has great detail and is very sharp TFS:cheers:

Terrific low shot with great wing and head angles. Nice sharpness and color, especially given the light conditions. The common Mallard is really a beautiful bird, too often overlooked.

I love the exposure, colors and low angle on this one. Lack of shadows is nice too, though a bit less overcast conditions would have helped make this image pop a little more. Well done!

Tack sharp Arash, and Mallards have such a variety of colours.

Arash I take my hat off to you, this week I will be going to the local pond to emulate!!!!

Fantastic exposure and sharpness. Good head angle too. Did you have to do any noise reduction?

Glad to see you posting again. Best, JR

Thanks guys, I did run some NR.
