Young Whistling Heron

[Ramon M. Casares]

Hi there! Today I would like to show you another one of my favorite shots, a young Whistling Heron yawning, I like the crazy look it has :)

I hpe you all like it! Enjoy!!


Xt + 70/200mm 2.8 + 2x
Tv 4000
Av 7.1
Exposure -1
Iso 400
Standing dangerously high on a tree branch :eek:

The bird is sharp and the pose is excellent but the light is very hard and the angle could be better (bueno, algunas veces hay que conformarse con el ángulo que uno encuentra :)). The framing seems to be very tight in my opinion. Nice to see you here Ramón:)

I like the soft light and pose and also wish for more room and a less steep angle. It would have been great if the sun were behind you.

Agree with Juan on this one. Light feels hard but did very well with the exposure. Love the open mouth but feels very tight in frame. Would crop some from the bottom and give more room top and front !!! Lots of feel (pajaro luce loco !!!) Muy bueno Ramon !!!!

Thank you all for your comments, the light was totally not the best, but in the case that the young migh get scared and fly away letting the posibility of getting lost or hunt (he was still being fed by the parents), I chose to work a little earlier than sunset, again, thank you!!! Your apreciations are very welcome and apreciated!
