    Default Trail of water Part 2

    A juvenile Brahminy Kite diving for his share of the chicken feedings. As the Brahminy Kite mature, it'll grow to have a white head and chest and brown body. Our local version of the bald eagle. :)

    1DM2N, 300mm, f/6.3, 1/640

    Great moment captured. It needs some CCW rotation and raising the ISO more would have given you a bit higher shutter speed.

    Hey Jay, Very nice. In addition to the suggested rotation, lightening the iris might do wonders for this one. Love the framing and the splash.

    Love the way the water droplets tell a story about where this bird's been. The eye would benefit from a little more life. More shutter speed would have helped, and as Axel said, raising your ISO from 640 to 800 would have bumped your shutter speed a little. Thanks for posting!
