Back Winged Stilt
Black Winged Stilt - shot in the early morning golden light.
Purposely cut the reflection as it just wasn't very strong (Ok at the start but faded away to nothing)
I hadn't been able to capture the fantastic eyes on these little guys in the past, nothing done to the eye other than sharpened a tad.

Handheld - yep its real heavy.
Hope the whites are not to hot - I like to push then to the edge :)
All commenst appreciated.
Nicely done Lance! Don't see you on Wild and Free all that often; you should spend more time here! Like the pose, the light, and the water. In particular, I like how you can see the entire ring of ripples. BG is like a painting. Well done! Did you hand hold this one too? :D

Wonderful exposure and beautiful eye contact and pose. Love the lighting too and the stunning BG. Fine image and thanks for sharing.
super awesome, mate!!!! the bg is fantastic and the whites look fine to me. feels good to venture into the deep end of the pool doesnt it?!!!
This is really lovely, Lance. Gosh, the details in the eyes and the water are stunning.
Hi Guys - thanks everyone.
Doug - its not ofetn I get one that I am happy enough with to post here. Yep handheld again.
:)
VERY nice, no nits here, I just like it a lot, light, pose, colours, all looks very good! Congratulations!
The whites looks fine to me but I think some dark areas lack details. I am sure that if you go to the RAW file and process this dark areas selectively you would add a lot of more details to this fantastic image.
Good job again, Lance !Originally Posted by Lance Peters
IMO, not every pic posted here is better than those on the ETL forum.
Thanks Juan - I will go back to the raw and seewhat I can pull out of the blacks :)
