Grey-tailed Tattler Tringa brevipes

Captured at Deep Bay, Hong Kong. :)

EOS-1D Mk II, EF500/4L IS + EF1.4x, ISO 200

Good exposure, and nice details. I like the semi-translucence of the feathers. A bit tight top and bottom. I checked on the embedded exif as I wanted to see what shutter speed you had with "only" ISO 200...and it is actually ISO 320 according to it ( SS 1/1250s. )

You're right of course, Daniel!
Sorry, I was typing from my fading memory on this one ... ;)

I like the B/W color feel here, there's a bit of noise on the wings that actually looks OK:), as Daniel said has
some transparent quality to it.At first I thought the crop is bit tight but actually works fine here.
Congrats!

Very nice capture, great exposure with lots of detail and nice catch light. I might prefer just a little more room underneath. Congrats.

These guys are fast! Great pose and nice light and exposure, nice comp although I would suggest to ad more room all arround, also, IMO, some NR would ehelp here. Love the fanned tail.
Congratulations!
