Black-Bellied Plover: The flying bullet

[arash_hazeghi]

This is one fast bird that gives you a good workout!



1D4 700mm f/8 1/2000sec ISO 800.

Excellent as usual! All of the bird in focus and pleasing tonings in the BG.

You got it done, Arash! The wing position is ideal. I appreciate your comment about the workout; I love the Hemingwayesque athleticism of bird photography. I'm wondering whether the plover couldn't be lightened a tad.

Super sharp with great topside detail. Like the eye contact. Another vote for slightly more brightness.

[Bill Dix]

The Hawkman excels in shorebirds too! Another beauty. And another vote for a little more brightness.

[James Salywoda]

Awesome!!! I'm with the others on the brightness.

Love the repost Aresh and as mentioned nice pose with great plumage detail.

+1 on repost. Excellent capture - not easy to do of any shorebird.
