Project feathers: great bustard (Otis tarda)

[Juan Aragonés]

Hi all, I strongly apologize for my lack of participation in the past weeks but I have been traveling in Portugal and enjoying the family holidays. Today we are at home but tomorrow we will go to the east of Spain to spend our last week of holidays before the return to our jobs:D. I have been almost without access to internet and do not expect to have much access in the following week.

This image is from a couple of years ago and I think it was made with my old Nikon D2X and the AFS Nikkor 18-70 but I have no more data because I am posting this image from my laptop. As always, your comments, critics and suggestions are welcomed :)

Well seen and done. I like the backlit effect, composition and mood, thanks for sharing it!

[Jim Fenton]

I like this a lot Juan....

Baklighting sets it off wonderfully and most would never even have seen this...or xcreated an image of it.

Love the lighting and the feather in caught in the grass. Quite lovely.

Very well seen and clever to use the back light to highlight the feather. Excellent project image, and the time has come. Thanks for suggesting this interesting theme.

It has all been said - beautiful! :)
