    Default Black-necked Stilt dynamic pose

    Got this one last weekend, I was lucky there was some light for this shot. I find the stilts quite tough to photograph in flight, they fly fast and flight path is really short, worse than that, 99% of the time wing position is flat like a pancake :D This was the first time I actually saw one banking with full forward stroke. Anyways, hope you like it.

    Nice shot of the top of the bird... I like the green colors in the black. Dont think the IQ is up to your usual high standard though and the white on the face are pushing it.

    Very nice Arash. I like the hint of habitat in the BG and the warmth of the light. You really show the bird off here - that bank, wing position and nice leg color.

    The light is really nice.
    I think the foreground grass would be better sharp or just removed.
    Minor quibble, the angle is really good.

    Beautiful pose and bird plus you got the red eye. Well done. I too am not a fan of the grasses at the bottom.
