Flicker Landing

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Another from the series taken yesterday at Green Cay. The flickers were definitely fighting for their nest and there is still much to come. Needless to say it was an incredible day to witness.

Hi Judy lynn,

Love flickers! The pose is great, and the soft light is nice.

The image looks sharp but I would run just a little USM on the eye. Also if you run NR on the BG, the man made objects, I guess I roof, wont stand out so much. Maybe a little Gaussian blur also would help.

ANother beauty, Judy Lynn. You're putting together a wonderful series.

[Monte Brown]

Great image, the yellow primaries and tail feathers really stand out against the background.

[Chris van Rooyen]

Lovely series Judy, well done:). I like Robert's suggestions

[Rod Warnock]

Softness off wings and feet adds to the landing portrayal greatly. Very well done, Judy !!
Best regards

Hi Judy Lynn,
another stunner! Agree with the man made??? object in the BG....but doesn't detract much from another super flight image!

Lovely pose on this one Judy. I've only got a couple of images of this bird so I know how difficult it is to get good photos of it. Mine are nothing to compare with this series.
