Evening light at the Bosque

[Sidharth Kodikal]

1D4, 700mm,
1/2000, f5.6, iso 800, manual, hand held

I was lucky enough to get some great light during my visit to the Bosque last month.
I can never get tired of these geese (and I have lots to process), but I hope I'm not boring you with too many of these.

Evicted a couple of sandhill crane heads from the bottom of the frame.
There was a faint horizontal streak (still visible) in the bg that I blended in softly. NR on BG.

Better position on the far wing would've been nice. On my wishlist for the next visit there, whenever that is.

You have posted some great images of the SNGO so far, Sidharth. Keep them coming. The background looks very nice, makes the bird pop. Perfect exposure control, nice clean picture.

That's a gorgeous photo! The catch light makes it for me, sometimes they are hard to come by with these guys.

Beautiful shot.
That background is just amazing.
Excellent pose, exposed perfectly, lovely light, and nice details.
Very well done.

Hi Sid, now you are just showing off. You cant beat that light, which in turn has given you good exposure on the goose. I do like the swept back wing position,and hanging legs for the incoming landing. The goose is sharp, and the BG is sweeeet.

Beautiful, I really like the background colors and how it offsets the white feathers of the goose.

Sidharth-

Couldn't have asked for a better wing position, in better light, with a better background. Nice tie-in of all three of these components.
