    Default Plover against the waves

    Here is another frame of the same plover I posted earlier, I was on the fence about the BG but after some toning down it didn't look bad to me at least.

    D850 200-500 VR at 500mm ISO 400 f/5.6 1/3200 sec. hand held. processed with C1 Pro. Grp AF


    Hope you like it

    Hi Arash,
    Nice flight pose with good details throughout. The BG gives it a sense of place to me. Well done.

    I really like the banking pose with both wings in focus. Easier said than done to capture a sharp plover in flight. tfs Are you getting the 600 f4 E ? I have the 500 f4 E and the 200 -500 f5.6. There is a large difference in IQ between the lenses. You won't be disappointed.

    I like the repost. The BG looks great but now the plover seems a bit dark. I would brighten the plover (excluding the whites in the tail to maintain the great detail there),

    Nice crisp image. Love the pose and background. I might be inclined to dodge some of the darker spots of the background in the lower left corner. I find these somewhat distracting.

    To my eyes, for whatever reason this is more detailed than the previous one, another great pose and I love the BG elements. Spot on for me

    Impressive catch Ari - these fellas aren't slow at all. Where was the focus point on this? The closest wing seems sharpest to me - but it may be the other areas as just as sharp but having smaller details due to distance. Anyway, very nice. Hope you're enjoy that 850...and get the 600 soon!

    The background adds tons of interest and context without being distracting. I'm glad you decided you liked it! I would love this image in my files.
