Black Neck Stilt

[David Salem]

Captured this last year at my local beach estuary. It is one of my favorite Stilt flight images. I really like the pose on this one. Hope you do to.

No wonder it's your fav. Nothing not to like on this one. great bank pose.

You nailed this one David!
I like the topside view very much and the iridescence is well captured.
IQ is excellent.
If this was mine, I would lighten the blue line in the water that intersects with the birds forehead and goes across to the RHS.
I really like the glow on the fanned tail.
I wouldn't mind a bit more room all around but that is my own personal taste. It is lovely as is.

Love the dorsal view, image does feel a little tight, the bird does seem either a bit past you or a tiny bit angled away? IQ is great and BG is beautiful.

David, Great top side view and pose. A slight angle toward you would have taken it up a notch.

[Satish Ranadive]

What a wonderful banking pose you have captured,David. Bird pops up so nicely on blues is fantastic.
Love the frame.

Regards,
Satish.

Thanks Gail for the tip on the dark line in the water. Did it and it looks better. 100 eyes are better than one
