Greater Roadrunner

[Raul Quinones]

My first roadrunner, it was hard to watch this beauty going back and forth between the beautiful morning light (far away) to the shade (close to my rental car).

I decided to go with the close one...
40D, 500mm f/4
F 8.0, 1/500s, ISO 800, 500mm

C/C are welcome, Raul

Raul, great HA, comp, and detail. Contrast looks a little low, so I'd try to raise the whites a bit. Ideally this would benefit from some fill flash.

I love the subject, the pose and the BG. Agree that it needs a bit more exposure to the right. You may try the fill flash slider in ACR also. My fingers are crossed to witness one of these beauties on my trip to Bosque next month.

Raul que te habias hecho?

Very nice bird. I find this guy very interested in your lens. Nice and clean BG. I find this image a little tight for my taste. Some contrast boost could improve it IMO.

I have only seen this in the cartoons, nice pose and details here, you have done well in the situation.. congrats..

Thanks for comments.
"Low contrast" is recurring critique on my pics, after is mentioned I look at the pictures and I have to agree... I am not sure why I keep rendering my pics with low contrast, must be a mental defect :) ... joke asides, I will work on try to evaluating better my pics on the future.

Thanks, Raul
