Dancing Reddish

~This one was dancing near the shoreline on Saturday morning for me. I am happy that there was no shadow under the wings.

Troy:

Excellent lighting on the bird, great pose. I like the framing. The waves establish the environment, but their tonalities are close enough to the bird that I find them mildly distracting.

I really like reds and love to see pictures of their antics.

Cheers

Beautiful light , exposure and pose pull this all together. Fine capture.

[Aidan Briggs]

Very nice pose, exposure, and sharpness. Image seems a bit too yellow IMO.

Keep them coming!

I really like the wingspread and the forward motion of the bird. I find the image a bit washed out. Might add a couple of points of black or decrease the yellow. i can feel the wind blowing in his face!

Love the pose and the sharpness. The color does look a bit off but not sure which way.... Even with calibrated monitors everyone is seeing slightly different color.....

[James Salywoda]

Beautiful light and pose captured Troy I like the small rolling waves in the bg.

Looks like a nice early morning glow. The under wing light is great. I love to shoot these crazy guys. Nice job
