Masked Lapwing

1D Mark 3, Canon 300 f2.8, x2, 1/800, f6.3, iso 800, HH

Had a lovely session yesterday late afternoon. Light was great. Nothing too special about this one but I like the showing spur which these birds use as a weapon.

Cropped from a horizontal - full frame vertical.

Never saw one of these. TFS. Love the colors in this. The blue BG makes it pop.

Ofer, I never saw one of these in person either. I like the raised foot pose and the spur showing. Very nice lighting and the eye is fantastic looking.

Sweet light and very nice pose. does look like a weapon, maybe tone down the chick whites just a tad. great stuff

[Danny Laredo]

Ofer, this is superb. Love the colors light and BG.

[Chris van Rooyen]

Superb light and I like the sharpness and posture!

Ofer, those spurs are quite interesting. well done on capturing this. I liked the exposure a lot too. bird stands out nicely against that BG.
