    Greater Roadrunner

    Workshop: Laguna Seca Ranch, South Texas

    D3, 600, ISO 1000, f4, 1/800. Called in.

    This was taken under dark skies. I like that he has both feet in the air.

    Wow, what a fantastic capture, Alan. Roadrunner on the go! Having both feet up in the air is the icing on the cake here. Excellent detail, IQ and comp. Might lighten the dark blob in the BG just a little.

    Great image Alan! I like the running pose, sharpness, details, raised crest and composition.

    Just superb as usual.
    A lifer bird for me, probably not for those in the southwest, but I have never seen one.
    Great sense of motion, exactly what I think when I think of Roadrunners.

    Great running pose, excellent details, Alan. It is gret to see that both legs are in the air.

    I love how you've captured him mid-stride in the air. Nice sense of motion, perfect bird angle and bg.
