    Captured this image this past June in Peru from a skiff motoring up a blackwater tributary of the Amazon. I consider myself lucky getting an in flight image since it's rare to see. I was also very pleased to see the wing spurs so clearly. C&C welcome.

    D4s, Nikon 500mm + 1.4 TC, 1/2000s, f 7.1, ISO 1250, Monopod from skiff.

    Nice in flight image of a rare bird, Geoffrey. I would tone down the yellow by about forty percent to give the bird a better chance to stand out.

    Great incoming look at this unusual bird. Love the spurs. Karl's suggestion is worth a try.

    Thanks Karl and Bill, and for suggesting toning down the yellow. Here's the repost.
