Nice one Dorian. I am envious. Have mentioned it in the past but in and around NY BBP's are just impossible to get near. Have only been close to one ever up here. If they fly it is typically straight away from you and when you are 200 feet away! Somehow when the birds get to Florida they become tame. Go figure. I also have the 100-400 ii and it feels like a toy compared to the 500. Everything looks really good on this one. Being super picky I would have preferred the close wing to be higher up.

Nice work catching one of these bullets in flight; and with his signature armpit showing. Head looks tack sharp. Yes, in a perfect world the near wing would have been higher, but this is a fine capture.

I'm a bit luckier than Isaac in that I do get 1 or 2 tame individuals every other year, but yes, the rest are as described! I also agree with Isaac about the near wing, but everything else is superb.

Hi Dorian, great flight pose ( near wing position already mentioned ) and nicely separated from the water BG. Well exposed and sharpness spot on.
You mentioned you like to push your blues - were the original blues dull, or do you like to boost the colours to make the image pop.

Blues were there already, but I boosted the saturation a bit and knocked down the luminance a bit to make the shot pop a bit more.
I also find that I almost always slide the blue-yellow slider towards blue a few ticks to get a crisper, cooler blue, but that's more a matter
of personal preference than it is anything technical. I don't, for example, actually like the super warm golden light that so many
others prefer as it imbues my preferred, watery blues with too much pink and yellow! I am sure some of that comes from always living near
the ocean (NYC, Boston, LA, SF), and I think I might appreciate those warmer, yellower tones if I did more over-land (as opposed to over-water)
shooting.
