    Default Calling out loud

    Hello BPN friends. It's been long again...busy life.
    A friend was visiting me from Belgium and I took him out for a photography afternoon. There wasn't much action due to the high wind, but at the sun set time we could get close to some Willets. Comments are always appreciated.

    Nice low angle, and entertaining calling pose. BG looks great, as do the details. Looks a tad bright form here and as such the whites are hot. Also a dust spot or two to eliminate. Glad to see you got a bit of time out of your busy schedule for photography!

    Yes to a bit bright but a great pose, sweet light, and lovely BGKR. Moving one big step to your right and getting the tripod 3 inches higher would have improved this one.

    Love the low angle and the background, and of course the pose. Toning down the brightness will help. Just wish he was angled a little toward us.

    Thank you for the comments. Note taken and adjustments will be made. Artie, thanks for commenting. I live in Merida, Yucatan. The photo was taken near Puerto Progreso in a laguna full of shore birds.

  6. Thanks Arthur Morris thanked for this post

    Lorant, once toned down I think you will have a stunning image here. Great calling pose.

    Nice and interesting light, pose and clean BG. I wish I could go back to Mexico but this time for bird photography!

    I like the sweet light and calling pose, the highlights are a tad bright
