    Default Black-necked Stilt banking

    1/2500, f7.1, iso 800, manual, hand held

    I was happy to get a Stilt in Austin (!) in nice light against a decent bg.
    The top portion is water (sewage treatment plant) that I saturated a bit to blend it in better.

    All comments appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Sid, excellent banking angle, and you have exposed the stilt very well. Overall, nice and sharp, and just love the triple layered BG.

    Sweet shot, Sidharth. Nice bank and as Stu noted, a very cool BG.

    Beautiful image Sidharth! I love the colors of the background which add to the image without taking away from the bird. Exposure is perfect and light is sweet.
