    Motif My first BIF!

    Hello guys finally I got something a little longer, a DA* 300, so this morning I went with Oscar and another guys to the Long Key rookery in Broward county.

    Pentax K10, DA* 300 f 4, ISO 500 , f 5.6, 1/1000, tripod, ballhead, 9:30 am.
    I think it would be better if the ISO was set at 400.

    C & C very much needed and appreciated:)

    Great pose with the open wings coming at you!!!

    Fanned tail, great BG and sharp as far as I can tell in the laptop.

    Don't know how you are going to mantain the reputation :) :) :)

    Very proud of you!

    Yes to quite lovely. A crop from the bottom of the letters in your name would make the COMP perfect. Love the sharpness and the light coming through the wings. The hot spot on the right side of the head was caused by the side/back light. It could be repaired with some excellent QM work by grabbing the dark side of the head, lightening and flopping it, and covering the hot pixels. All in all, excellent.
