    Default Black-necked stilt in some nice water

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    40D. 400 f5.6L at f/7.1. iso 400. 1/2000s. manual metering. from Mountain view shoreline park near PA Baylands.

    The bank was a good 1.5 feet higher than the water... so I had to kinda hang out for lower angle and shoot without any support below....in vertical orientation :-) In the process, I messed up the levelling. After rotation, I dont have anything to add on the right side. Infact, a small triangle at the bottom is canvas I have added in post. Now I am thinking I should probably extend the whole right side a tad.

    All C&C welcome and appreciated.

    Another reason I decided to hang out like a cantilever beam was to get better light angle :-)

    Excellent exposure and detail. You handled the blacks and whites well. Lovely eye color. I think a tad more CW rotation would help, if you can get it. TFS

    Nice pose and water as you said. I feel it needs more room on the bottom for the virtual feet/legs.

    Sweet shot, Kaustubh. Exposure and detail are excellent, as is the lovely water. Another vote for a little more CW rotation, maybe just a bit more canvas. The red eye is a knockout.

    Your dedication paid off nicely but a bit of canvas extension might be worth trying.

    Hi Kaustubh, Wonderful IQ and I really like the blue water and pose. Agree with you on adding more rome to the right

    Great IQ as always and the soft colors and light are fantastic...Agree on the 1 degree CW rotation, but thats a small nit...Great image Kaustubh!
