Black-winged Stilt in flight.

[Satish Ranadive]

Image was created on 26th April,2016.

Basic editing. Beak was almost at the left hand side border, hence I have increased the canvas by adding half of the right side part of same frame and Cropped for composition.
Cloned the spots using clone stamp and smudge tool. NR applied to BG. Hope you will like it.


ISO: 400, 1/1250 @5.6. Spot metering. Manual settings.
Canon 550D, 100-400 mm.

Thanks for viewing, critiques and comments,
Kind Regards,
Satish.

A very pretty image, great position of the stilt. You've done an excellent job of extending the canvas, wouldn't have known if you hadn't mentioned it.

Terrific flight shot, Satish. Good wing position, and well exposed. Great PP work. I may see a few cloning repeats, but wouldn't have known.

Whoa, wish it were mine Satish! lovely and right on exposure with a lovely BG. I could see a version whereby you opt to blur/soften the green vegetation at the top, but i love it just as it is! Well done.

Simply wonderful capture, Satish. Like the low flight, down wing, legs and feet stretched out. Great water patterns.
