Marbled godwit

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Canon 1D4, 300 f2.8 + 2x tc
1/2500, f9.0, iso 800, evaluative metering, manual.
The evening light was so warm - I decreased the saturation on the bird a bit in PP.
All feedback appreciated.
Thanks

Outstanding shot !!! Nice wing position and some sweet light I really like the trailing water drops.

Sidharth:

Excellent full up pose, angle in frame.

Agree with the adjustment to saturation.

Cheers

Lovely light and great wing position. The water droplet really adds something here.

[Richard Pittam]

that's a lovely image. Could it have a bit more room at the top of the frame?

[Bill Dix]

Wonderful. Great light and perfect pose. Nicely done.

You know you have the sweetest light when you have to desaturate your image. Good flying posture with raised wings, and separated nicely from the water BG. The droplets add a nice touch.

Beautiful light, pose and details here Siddarth, nicely done..

[Paul Guris]

Delicious. I can't imagine how it could be improved.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Good call on destaurating the image a bit as the sweet light saturation is perfect as is. I love the full upstroke, and the trailing drops add some additional interest.
