Limpkin Landing

[Jim Neiger]

Osceola County, FL - 1D4, 600mm, hand held from boat, 1/2000, F6.3, ISO 800, manual exposure

[Bonnie Block]

Very cool. Love the details in the feathers and the expression on the bird.

[Mike Milicia]

Nice one, Jim! There's a lot to like here ... nice light, great landing pose with open bill and nice separation between the feet, wonderful BG, excellent detail, etc.

A little tight at the top for me and maybe a bit more room at right and bottom as well.

Beautiful frame, Jim.
I also could see it a bit looser, but the IQ is very nice.

[Morkel Erasmus]

the colours just pop here Jim!
nice timing, pose and exposure

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Wow Jim! Stunning shot. Mike summed it up perfectly for me. Just a bit of room all around for me as well.

[Marina Scarr]

The BG is so overpowering that it almost overshadows your limpkin. Great pose on the limpkin and what awesome light you had.

[Karl Egressy]

Nice landing pose against beautiful background, Jim.

[Dan Busby]

I really like that landing pose Jim. And very nice techs and lighting. I find that the background colour and pattern makes it hard to give full attention to the bird.

excellent landing Jim, with golden colors and sharp details!

[Jonathan Ashton]

It takes some doing, hand held in a boat, - well done you have capture the landing and the detail in the bird is excellent.
