Snow Bunting on Ice

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Photographed last weekend. The wind was so strong that it sometimes blew the birds over the ice and they had trouble getting traction. I added a bit canvas on the left.

I like the "walking on ice" pose. Head angle is perfect. Well exposed and sharp. Beautiful!

[Daniel Cadieux]

This is may favorite of your bunting series so far. I'm a little jealous :-) I'd be tempted to crop a bit above, but still awesome as is.

A, Sweet capture, the added canvas makes the comp work for me. Love the low angle! Bob

[Ramon M. Casares]

Great pose, light and exposure, good comp and detail here, the eye looks a bit noisy in my PC, but other than that, I just love it! Congratulaitons!

[Juan Aragonés]

Superb pose and exposutre job Axel and excelent low angle... man, your images of snow buntings are really killer :-)

[Arthur Morris]

Ditto all of the above. I love the wind tunnel pose.

[Jim Fenton]

Simply sweet Axel...

Try as I might, I've never been able to get anywhere near this close to a snow bunting.
