Crowned Lapwing fly past
Another of the lapwing fly past this one with wings up. The lapwing had flown up from a light grassy BG into a dark treeline BG. Manual mode worked well !
Hand held about a 60% crop added canvas front and top as well as upper primary which was clipped.

C&C allways welcome.
Pieter:
Good job on canvas extension and primary repair.
Nice calling pose.
He is a bit past you, but the head angle is back a bit this way, which helps.
Just a little noise creeping in, not objectionable to me
Cheers
Randy
You did well with the relatively harsh light and shadows. Best for this would have been the wings fully down. I am no fan of the near-wing position....

The subject pops against the dark BG and I like the calling pose, if this was mine I would darken the brighter areas on the bird

Pieter, the lapwing pops nicely against the darker BG, and well placed in the frame. Typical 'screeching' pose, with an open beak.
Thanks for looking and for your feedback, much appreciated.
