Augur Buzzard Taking Off
This image was the second one of the Augur Buzzard that I posted a couple of weeks ago. I like the pose here, but the side lighting created a strong shadow on the left wing of the bird. Would like to hear your comments.

Excellent timing. The harsh light made it challenging but you did a good job.
This is a hard one Loi!
First of all I am very impressed that you used the 2X from a safari jeep- not the easiest thing to do.
Comp is good and I really like the take-off pose with the talons just lifting off the perch. Nice and sharp and love the wings up.
That shadow really is a problem and I find myself looking at it immediately.Have you tried aggressively lifting the shadow to see if you can get more detail and more light? This is one of the dreaded " if only..." shots!

Hi Loi, Nice pose and timing the only issue I have is with the shadow not much you can do with it since it is so pronounced.

Hi Loi
I find this a nice image but do find the shadow a little distracting. I think you probably did the best you could in the conditions. Maybe if the wings had been nearer the horizontal there would not have been as much of a shadow.
Still a nice image though, well done.
Very cool pose and my first critique was about the tight crop. But it has kind of grown on me the more I look at it. . Maybe you could try to lighten the shadow a bit
Hi Everyone, you are right, there is not much I can do about the shadow.
Hi Marina, I didn't have room on the right and top, only left and bottom. so I decided to add a little more canvas here in the RP just for fun.
Gail, no problem with the 2X on a safari vehicle as long as I had it on a bean bag.

Excellent take off pose you have captured. I like the lights and shadow in this post.
Love the full stretched wings,nice HA, the talons just lifting off the perch and beautiful composition.
Re pose looks very nice.
Regards,
Satish.
