Godwit - wings flap

[Ofer Levy]

1D Mark 2, Canon 300 f2.8, x2 TC, 1/1000, f6.3, iso 400, HH from a kayak

Got this about three years ago here in Sydney. I really enjoy photographing shore birds from my kayak although it's better not to think what will happen if you lose your balance with this tiny boat...:eek:

Full frame with some canvas rearranging for composition.

Beautiful ofer, nice light, Pose and details here..

Ofer, Beautiful pose and wing stretch. I like the sharp details. I know that this is natural but I might try to remove the heavy blue blur from the edge of the background rocks. Mostly because it's so blue. Lovely shot, wish it were mine:)

[Ofer Levy]

Thank you for your comments guys!
Denise, I think this is a very good idea! Here is a repost without this blue edge - does it look better?

[DanWalters]

Really like the outstretched wings and the blue background. Repost looks great!

[denise ippolito]

Ofer, I think if you leave just a hint of it so that there isn't a straight edge it might be better.:)Not trying to be picky-this is just such a sweet shot.

[Danny Laredo]

Love the pose you captured here Ofer, great detail and colors.

[Ed Schneider]

Nice action and detail- I like the repost better:)

TFS!

This is very nice Ofer I like the raised wings and that bg really sets this off excellent composition I like it as presented. Are you going to stick with Canon or move to Nikon?:)
