Eastern Kingbord ~ Backlit High Ket

Image created in late September at MacDaniels Marsh in Springfield NH.

Taken from the kayak on a rather cloudy day.

Nikonn D300s, 70-300 AFS VR, ISO 500, F6.3, 300mm, 1/500, NearUniWB, CW metering, +2.7 EV applied.

BTW...the little swath of blue at the base of the neck was quite visible to the eye. Don't recall seeing it before on a king bird but I opted to leave it as it was real coloration.

A little steep angle but as it was taken from a kayak the angle was a given.
Nice picture, Jim.

Jim:

I like everything about this except the shooting angle, as Karl pointed out. Techs, pose, perch, high key, all work for me.

I like the slightly wet feathers with the spikey do.

Cheers
