Lilac breasted roller flight

[Roman Kurywczak]

Wish this was at least an hour earlier.....but still love the wing position on this one. Guess I'll have to wait till next years trip to improve on it!
Cano 1D Mark lll with the 100-400 at 150mm and ISO 800 at f8 and 1/3200 sec. Cropped to vert from horizontal.

Excellent wing position and pose, would brighten the pupil slightly, seems to be lacking feather details, maybe too much NR?

Great shot, TFS

[Doug Brown]

Great wing position! Light angle on the head could be a little better, although the wings are lit beautifully. I agree with Arash about the lack of fine feather detail. I'd love to make it to Africa one of these years! Looks like you had a great trip!

Roman:

Doug and Arash hit the techs. The IQ is def. suffering from something, either NR or crop?

The pose and colors are spectacular.

Cheers

I'm thinking NR as it is almost FF vert......will revisit this in NR.

[Grace Scalzo]

Roman, I want to see the rework on this one! Something went amiss with the pp, I bet that it's a fabulous image with that great wing spread, nice angle of the bird, and the slight open beak and those colors.

The colours are much too "electric", the eye looks a little large, like everybody else I would like too see a rework if possible.
