    Default Creativity: The Jewel Thief

    Hi Everyone,
    This was taken at Little Estero Lagoon last February. The light was very low, I was flat on my belly and the BG was very dark - mangrove-type things as I recall.
    1D 3 500 f/4 + 1.4 TC
    ISO 800
    f/5.6 1/1600

    Slightly cropped for composition.
    Look forward to your C & C's :)
    Best regards to all,

    Hehehehe, very appropriate caption :) Glad to see one creative queen as part of the project again :)
    I like the concept and action, would just sharpen the eye a bit more.

    I like the low angle and the white on black. It really sets off the water spray. Just wish for a bit more sharpness. Good job on the exposure.

    nice low angle and splash, stands out well against BG. Agree with Alan about sharpness

    Other than the head being a bit soft I like the dynamics of this image. Very dramatic.

    In addition to the above I would like to see a bit more head turn. Pattern of the droplets is superb.

    Thankyou everyone for your very kind comments and suggestions. To be honest I really struggled with sharpness that morning - the light was so low and those birds do move fast :eek: I will do some more work on the eye.
    Fabs, am really enjoying the project :)
    Best to all,
