Wrybill

[Peregrine Craig Nash]

A shot of the Wrybill New Zealands endemic wader with bill that always bends to the right. 1d2n Sigma 500.

Great capture! Pretty good DOF, what aperture did you use?
It could use a bit more sharpening, and thanks for sharing this one!

Makes me smiling :) Nice action taken. Bit frame filling subject but apart of this I like this.

I just love the color tone and the implied context. A sleepy
bird yawning on a gray afternoon!
Congratulations!

Very nice. The "balancing act" really makes this shot. There's room for a little more pop. I set the black point at 10.10.10 and white point at 240.240.240, so there's no blocking of shadow details and no clipping of highlights. And a little sharpening with an edge mask.

Hi Peregrine
Like the frontal head image.
These guys don't loiter so well done getting this.
David: Like the snap you've added and thanks for edit details.
Cheers: Ian Mc

Most effective composition, and an amazing bill. I didn't mannage to see this species when I was in NZ.

Really neat shot with the open beak and low angle, I think the contrast on the repost is an improvement.
