    Default The odd bird out..

    A photo from Bosque Del Apache last November.
    I had been there before so this time mostly tried to get multiple
    birds in flight in focus in a frame.
    There are a lot of flying birds at once so lots of opportunities there you don't get elsewhere.
    I got quite a few in this frame.
    Also, shot wide open at f5.6, another reason to not stop down with tele lens. There is no point.
    I could have not had any more DOF to make a difference.

    You got a lot in focus so you mist have been some distance back.
    Good behavioral and habitat shot.
    The frame gives me the feeling it needs some ccw rotation but I know that can be illusory at times.
    Great seeing all the flying birds with different wing positions.

    Nice image. I'll like Ross's Goose, they are elegant birds. The place is of course outstanding. My idea is also that it needs some rotation.

    Love the fliers with different poses and good separation. They are sharp and pop against the grasses. The lower birds not so much. TFS

    Good action and a nice depiction of Bosque birds. Yes to CCW rotation, and I am not a fan of the lower edge. Did you see some dark adult Ross' Geese as well?

    Yes rotate. Nice to see multiple birds.
