This image was shot handheld in available light from my kayak on a small lake near Whitehorse. Canon 1DX, Canon 300 f/2.8 IS II + 2xTCIII at f/5.6 1/2000 ISO 1600
Ah, these guys will soon be back locally, if not already way out in the river. I like the double flight pose and the low angle (but I do wish the wings were fully down). I really like the strip of water that is in focus along the bottom edge. The oof eye of the far bird draws my eye there, perhaps toning it down would reduce its impact.
Fantastic POV Geoff. Lovely detail on the bird and I love the expression on the face. I would prefer if the OOF bird wasn't there, and some more canvas on the LHS.
Nice to get the dual birds in the shot - I like to see something different and the oof birds appeals to me (although I like Dans suggestion of toning the eye down a little). Only looking on my laptop screen, but could the main bird take a little more sharpening?
