    Default Snail Kite (male)



    Model: NIKON D2X
    ISO: 400
    Exposure: 1/800 sec
    Aperture: 5.6
    Focal Length: 550mm
    Gitzo tripod
    on a moving air-boat

    I wish the BA and HA were better. I have 2 which are better but the back wing in one looks strange and HA in the other shades the eye. IMO this one shows the magnificent bird best.

    Cheers and Happy New Year

    Wing position and sharpness look good. I agree, it would have been stronger with the bird flying toward you and the bird could go a bit lighter for my taste.

    Nice view of that beak. Also like the color and detail of the near wing. As you noted, a little head turn towards you would've been nice.

    Hi Gavin - agree with the above comments - a slight halo along the underside of the body??
