Another pose of a BLPW from a couple of weeks ago at a local lake. I imagine it's because the BLPW is a lifer for me and they stuck around for several days providing tons of poses, that I'm sharing this third one of the series. C&C welcome.
D4S, Nikon 500mm + 1.4 TC, 1/800s, f 6.3, ISO 4000, Gitzo tripod, Wimberley Gimbal head.
Geoffrey I think this is my favorite of your series of this bird,do like it's alert pose and position of it's legs,yellow and greens in the bg blend very well with the bird,being really picky those oof twigs on the left have not helped you,but we have to live with what is there,very nice frame.
Hi Geoff, I like the pose and HA, and that the perch runs through the frame. I agree with Will regarding the OOF twigs, and maybe run some NR on the BG. I wish the numbers of your SS and ISO were reversed, as Im seeing a bit of motion blur on the head. Still, having a lifer, I would also make the most of the opportunity.
Geoffrey I did not suggest removing the twigs because looking at it i thought with it crossing the branch it would be very hard to get it right,looks like you proved me wrong,very well done.
