BNS top side

Black necked stilt topside view. I wish the water was calm but this was a windy day and I did not bring my big six so the BG a bit less smooth than usual....

Beautiful Ari, the BG is just a BG, the bird takes it all. You inspire me and discourage me at the same time.

Very nice flight shot Arash! I really dig the top side view. However, it appears to be over-sharpened to me. I think if you backed off a little, it would improve the image greatly.

thanks Kurt I didn’t sharpen this any differently. It has a lot of detail since it was a full frame shot. From here at least it looks good on my 4K NEC.

Great flight pose.......Lovely colours on the bird with good detail.....for your info, the neck and head areas do appear to be slightly over sharpened here on the iMac .....maybe the crop size....

thanks guys, I looked at it on my MBP screen and it does look a bit over-sharpened, I think it's the display scaling.

Very nice pose and sharp wingtip to wingtip. Composition is nice against the deep blue water IMO, ripples or not.

Maybe take a peek at -8 yellow and -5 magenta and just see what your eyes say (quick view in LR).

Well captured though Arash!

I love the incredible flight pose , the perfect head-angle, and the sharpness. And I actually like the water. Do you know if this is an adult female???

with love, artie

Yes, brown back indicates female.

Spectacular dorsal flight shot. Knowing this was full-frame takes it up a notch on the impossibility scale.
