    Default American Avocet

    this image is from last spring, the Avocet is in breeding plumage. Hope to get more of these this year


    shot with A9 II and 600 GM + 2X TC (1200mm) f/8 1/4000 sec ISO-1600 hand held processed with C1P (almost full frame image, a bit off the right and a bit canvas added to the left) wish the neck's shadow hadn't fallen on the far wing. BG is the beach.

    hope you like it and happy new year!

    Nice size in the frame for a flight close-up... I would maybe just darken the very tip of beak so it appears sharper.

    Not much to fault here, although I do agree with you about the shadow on the far wing. Excellent in every other aspect.

    Great action, and I especially like the details on the scaly legs. Only wish is that the far/right wing was a tad lower and clear of the neck. These guys have very shallow wingbeats so its really hard to get them perfect. Processing and detail are as good as it gets.
