Female Pintail

[Tim Munsey]

My time of year for these shots is coming up, looking forward to it.

D850, 500mm f/4E + 1.4TC, 1/4000 at F/5.6, ISO 320, handheld.

Nice one....Love the flight pose and BG colours. I would leave more room all around. Looking forward to it as well Tim.

This is really, really sweet. The exposure and detail on that near wing is perfect. Love the sharp feet too! I hope you have more room around the bird as has been mentioned. A bit more head turn would have been ideal, but the bird an dBG are so good it hardly matters. I might clone out the sun reflection to leave a single catchlight in the eye.

[Ian McLachlan]

i really like the detail that you have in this shot right across all the bird .And the delicacy of the colours as well. What time of the day can you get to iso 320 at 700mm and 1/4000 th in november ?Beautifull.

pretty cool pose and sweet details, the angle is good enough for me but I'd make the image warmer and get rid of the 2nd searchlight

Just about perfect. Agree with other points. I would definitely warm up the image a bit.

Yep, warm up the image and add canvas (especially top and left). Other than that, wowie, what a beauty. Sharp throughout, and great background. Perfect downward wing position as well.

Love the pattern on that wing. Nice pose and light.
