    Default Grey headed Flying Fox in flight

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    1D Mark IV, Canon 600 f4, 1/4000, f5, iso 1000, Miller Solo CF tripod, Miller Arrow 25 fluid head, 43 degrees in chest deep water.

    After they perform the "belly dipping" the bats lick the water off their wet fur. I wish she had the head a bit bent down toward her belly.
    About 75% of full frame, basic processing - no clonning or NR.

    What an awesome image, Ofer. I love the tongue, the licking, the water droplets, wing position and BG is very complimentary to your subject. I am impressed with no NR at ISO 1000. Your hard work obviously paid off.

    I'm enjoying these bat images and have no advice to offer. I think it all works here, love the background, the bat's face, the water ....

    Hi Ofer, superb image, you certainly dont need to worry about all the shots you took that were not perfectly focused, this one is brilliant.
    Well done

    You certainly have nailed this subject Ofer.

    Might look at trying to even out the darker are below the Bat, so your eye isn't drawn so much away from the subject?

    I haven't commented on any of theses images from this series yet. It is just simply fantastic. Color,action, sharpnes, detail among many other gret characteristics. Big congratulations for your work, Ofer.
