Thanks to Al and Fabs for the wonderful instruction on flight photography during their January Everglades workshop. How you like it :-)

Hi Amanda Did real good on this one !!! Well exposed with the whites in check, sharp, beautiful bg and a fine pose !! Only way to make it better is softer light !!!

.... guessing you made this one at around ten thirty at the end by the Stork tree :)

Nic one Amanda! :) Al is correct about the light being a little strong. You do have a nice pose and sharp image here! :)

Hi Amanda,
I like it as presented...I like the capture angle and wing position...:cool:

[Lance Peters]

Hi Amanda - agree with AL and Gus comments above - I would run some noise reduction on the background (selectively of course)
Looking forward to seeing more :)

[Amanda Reed]

Thanks for the feedback... good idea about reducing the noise in the background... I'll give that a try.

Congrats Amanda. Excellent flight capture with lots of details.
