Avocet in flight

[arash_hazeghi]

5D2 500 + 1.4X TC, f/7.1 1/1600sec ISO 500 sw: DPP. Full frame, added a bit canvas on the top for composition.

Thanks for looking :)

Beautiful two toned, subdued pastel background is just right for this subject.

Overall pose, sharpness, exposure, etc are just as they should be.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Beautiful shot gorgeous colours and detail.

Beautiful color of the bg adds to this. Pose and exposure are right on too. The only possible thing that keeps this shot from being "perfect" is the shadow under the wing.

I like it a lot. This is a classic shot - the kind you would see in a bird book showing all the features of the avocet.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Good light, eye contact and sharpness and only wish the entire underside of the near wing were sunlit.

[Hendri Venter]

The image quality is outstanding showing very good detail. The pose is good and I also like the catchlight in the eye.

This is one of the most beautiful BIF shots I have seen in a great while. The colors,comp.and detail all work together to make one stunning image.:D:D:D

<------- is green with envy :)
One of your better avocets in flight.
Loving the creamy BG, pose, he'd angle and catch light. TFS.

[Sid Garige]

one of the best avocet images I have seen.
Hoping to get a chance to shoot them soon :D

Arash, this one's a winner. full-frame shot with full-frame camera....killer stuff. no wonder the BG is so creamy. You must've been really close. Thx for sharing this gem.
