Taken at Nickerson last week. I have a run of this guy with different wing positions just at the top of the grasses which i like for framing. This is one of my favorite frames from that shoot bc of the symmetry, soft light and the top of the colorful grasses. The underside feathers of the left wing show more motion blur than the other wing. Also, the lower mandible tip has beach sand adhered to it and i chose to leave it as is... I dodged the eyes to give some definition and also lassooed several dust spots in the BG. Hope you like it.
