Australia - Masked lapwing in Flight

[Jim Neiger]

Here is another one of the images I made on my trip to Australia this fall.

Melbourne, Australia - 1D3, 500mm+1.4xTC, hand held, 1/2000, F5.6, ISO 800, manual exposure

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great wing position and details. Maybe a slightly higher color temperature?

[Simon Bennett]

I really like the image clarity - and great view of the wing spurs.

I am a fan of lapwings!!! Loved this one! Great pose, light and colours, and BG, might like it better with a bit more room all arround, but I like it very much as presented! Congratualitons!

[Rene' Villela]

That's a very interesting bird Jim! I like how you kept the detail and tones on the feathers! Very nice capture!

[Doug Brown]

Very nice Jim! Great pose, and I like the spurs on the wings. Agree about a little more room for the bird at the bottom of the frame.
