This was taken at the time when I was capturing the juvenile advocets. It happened so fast that I didn't have time reset my settings. The shutter speed was obviously a little too much. :)
I like the pose and sharpness. I think the sky could be lightened a bit. If you could have pressed the shutter 1/2 second earlier, the image would be even stronger. As presented, the bird is juststarting to fly away from you rather than toward you.
