This image was created in the morning at 8:36am on Lake Tohopekaliga, Florida on board of Jim Neiger's boat. The snail kite flight activity was very slow that morning, except for some harassing red-winged blackbirds, but we had some good opportunities for portraits. The kite was sitting on a white pvc pipe, hence only the top part. The background and open beak make this image for me.
This image was created with the Canon 500mm f/4L IS lens and Canon 2.0x TC II at 1000mm, and the EOS-1DMIV. ISO 800. Evaluative metering: 1/800 sec. at f/8 set manually. Hand held. Did some bill clean up.
All comments are welcome.
Thanks for looking.
