    (Originally wanted to post this imge under the Theme - Straight Down the Barrel ...but realised after posting that I forgot to put the Theme detials in the title ..sorry)

    Been away from BPN for a while, now starting to post again ...

    This Black Necked Stork is from my recent visit to India (Kaziranga NP) and I made image out of a sequence trying to test the AF / Servo capability of Canon 7D with a 500mm f4+1.4x conv.
    Prior to these shots,I was not sure how well the 500 prime + converter combination works for such kind of head on movements.
    This was clicked in the typical foggy / cloudy environs - well known atmosphere of Assam National Park in India.

    Techs - Canon 7D, 500mm+1.4x, ISO 800, 1/ 1200, f8, spot metering, +1/3 , Wimberly+Gitzo

    Love the action and straight on look emphasizing the sticks in bill.
    Shoulders look a little hot on my monitor. Trailing red legs add to picture and nice background.

    It looks as you are the target for those sticks.

    Expanding your picture to fill a large monitor screen makes it all better even as compressed for posting.

    Were you sitting in the nest??

    I like the incoming pose, and of course the nesting material. The backlighting on the wing feathers makes for an interesting effect.

    Title fixed

    Great shot, I like the behavior shot as well as the light shining through the wings.
