Great pose, breeding plumage and BG. I find the stick covering the eye a bit distracting.
Me too Axel I was debating to remove or not? Would be an easy fix !!! Sure wish you could have been there this morning !! One of the best in many years Got also some real nice flight with heavy rain !!!!
You really did good early morning, very proud of you!
Gorgeous bird, fantastic background color. Perfect use of flash, looks really natural. To be picky, I wish the stick wasn't covering the eye. Would be interesting to see a version with the stick removed.
This is such a great image that I think it would be worth the effort to remove the stick. I would have loved to join you this morning. On my way to the airport I saw a Swallow-tailed Kite right above me. These birds are so beautiful and make me want to go back right away. :)Originally Posted by Alfred Forns
Very nice! I waved as I drove past the Venice Exit in the Rain this AM. I think it is worth working on the stick for sure.
I had a great time last week, Thanks!
Very nice image. The stick should go, at least over the eye. I really like the exposure and flash work. The pano crop is just right.
Will work on the stick eviction !!!!
......... me too Jim !!! .... are you getting one of those Giant Ring Flash :eek: ... a license should be required before operating one :D:) Will dig up a pic and post in F&F !!
I love that background, Al.
I really like the wing position and the fantastic bg!
What a gorgeous background! Love the flight pose, and I guess I am the dissenting vote here.....I don't mind the stick... Beautiful capture Al!
Alfred:
I liked it when you showed me the image in the camera, and it is even better here. I learned a lot yesterday at the Rookery about making the most of what is available. It was nice meeting you and Fabs. Thanks for sharing information!
I am on the road, so can't do much with my images yet, but got a few that I really like. Wish I could have stayed longer!
Cheers
Randy
