Marbled Godwit

[Ed Schneider]

Bunchee Beach, Ft. Myers, FL

1/1250th, f/8, -4/3EV

Question: Why does the ISO rating not show up in EXIF data if I'm slower than ISO200?

Thanks for looking :)

D300
AF-S 500f/4
Wimberly&Gitzo as low as they would go!

Ed, great job on exposure and wonderful colors on this bird. The warm light really brings out his plumage. I'd like a little more room underneath and maybe some on the left to balance that out. Also a very slight CCW rotation. Congrats

[Ed Schneider]

Thanks, Brian. I thought about CCR but this was shot level (don't want to distort natural pose)- the sand is naturally sloping towards the water. This was full frame, so I was lucky to fit the birds feet in @ all!

Ed, is is really nice. I like the pose and raised lige. Colors and feather detail are excellent.

[Gal Shon]

That is a good one...VWD.
I like the walking pose, beautiful colors, light, angle and BG. Love the way the mud and the water meets.
I would lose the small catchlight. I would see how it looks without the mud spot on the left

Beautiful sharpness and details. I love the warm color tones on the bird and the BG and water colors. Agree about extra catchlight. Very nicely done.

Ed: Lovely light, pose, BG and detail. A winning capture. Nicely done.

Beautiful low angle and lots of detail. agree with warming up the colors and brightening a little bit. A real good one TFS

perfect expo and a low angle as said. i would run 1 round of nr to bg and clone out the dark patch on left bottom.
