This images was taken on the Chobe river Botswana.
D3s 600 VR, Taken at 600mmm, 1/2000 sec at F6.3, ISO 400. I had to clone out of focus Skimmer in the BG.
Great capture,Vivaldo ! Pleasing bg, great eye contact and posture of a very elegant flyer.
Agree with some canvas extension (or less crop? ) at the top.Would have wished for separation of bill from wing. Still excellent!
Repost looks good Vivaldo, although I may have added a touch more. Great banking angle with the full wingspread, and those colours in the BG adds something extra. Well captured.
Background, light, detail, wing extension and head angle all exquisite. In a perfect world the bill would be clear of the wing, but a gorgeous image nonetheless.
The added canvas makes for a stronger comp - well done putting that in. I would also reduce the luminance of the bottom bright band is it tends to compete for my attention - excellent BG otherwise. Lastly, I find the bill a bit oversaturated.
Neat banking pose, and I love the overlappipng feathers on the lower wing.
