Same stork, different light angle

[Juan Aragonés]

This white stork was photographed in april in the same nest of the nest showed in my last post so it is probably even the same bird. I made this image almost at the same moment of the day, first hours of the morning in a very claer day, but right from the oposite direction. I was shooting from the rock that works as background in the my previous post. Just wanted to show how different an image from the same subject can be just changing the light angle (of course, it is not always possible to do it :p).
Nikon D300, AFS Nikkor 500VR+1,4X-TC, handheld, manual exposure, f7 1/800s, ISO640 full frame

Juan, nice light, and this image is totally different. Good exposure, and detail.
Buen blog Juan y en el mismo idioma! Un abrazo!

Juan, I love this kind of light, and your exposure looks dead on here. I think this one works well. Did you happen to shoot any without the TC? I think having more space around the bird would also make for a nice image.

Saludos,

Great contrast against the dark bg. great details and exposure. Comp works well for me.

you really get some amazing light bro, cool scene, and interesting environment.

Thank you guys for the comments :)
Greg, I agree is a bit tight in the frame but I do not have a decent one with the bare lens because I was trying to get images of fying birds and didn´t want to remove the TC. Going a few steps back was not a solution because af the conditions of the cliff.
OK; being honest, I decided not to make images without TC just to have a good reason to return to the same place next season :D:D
