scanning for food

[Thanaboon Jearkjirm]

D700
70-200mm f2.8 VR1
200mm
ISO 400
f8 at 1/2000s
Manual mode
Matrix Metering
Auto white balance
AF-C, Dynamic, 21 points

Clone out birds in the background, set white/black point, curve, linear burn to bring out white details, crop, NR and sharpen.

Taken earlier this year but only have time to PP now, how is the composition? I want to show the looking for food look so room at the bottom.

All comments and suggestions are welcome.

Techs look solid - PP looks very good - lots to like here.
Good HA and eye contact - like the wings up flight position and the sharp details.
Goos dhow :)

Good exposure and sharpness Thanaboon. Like the wings up position.

I like it and does show what you want !! .. did well in PS !!

Settings wise I rather go with a wider aperture, not sure all that dof is helping !!

Hi Thanaboon,
This is one sweet image...I like the position of the bird in frame, you have a good head angle and sharp eye. I like the raised wing position, and the fine feather details...good show...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
