    Hello everybody, I hope you all are doing great.

    This is not the best image of a Double-striped Thick-Knee but this is an elusive species and was patient enough for me to get a few images of it.

    Canon 30D
    Canon 300mm F4 + 1.4TC
    AV
    ISO 400
    SS 1/500
    f/6.3
    Fill-Flash -3
    HH from a rocking boat

    Fairly large crop and minor PS work. I was tempted to tone down the legs but then that would look unnatural since they are quite pale.

    Comments and suggestions welcome.:)

    Great to see this very cool bird!
    Nice pose and legs look fine. Love that eye!

    Maybe a tad more room at the bottom?

    Great find and eye contact. Maybe a tad more room at the bottom and I might sharpen the bird more.
