Wow, beautiful pose and light... superb clarity. That is some serious extension on those wings! Handheld, awesome. Love the low angle... from boat or shore?

Sweet camera-- I see you're getting the most out of it! Great shooting...

[Colin Knight]

I waded out in to the surf to get these. And yes, in love with the 5D III. It's a wonderful thing! See you in SC soon

Cool pose! I like the sky to water ratio in this shot.

[Joe Senzatimore]

One fine image. I wish the horizon line wasn't running through the wing. Perhaps a higher or lower angle would help this. Still sweet as is.

Thanks for the C&C!

The light , pose and focus is excellent.
I would not change a thing.

nice pose light and good details well done

Well done. Good choice of aperture....worked on the DOF front for this wing position. Stopping down would not given the BG separation..which is a big challenge when shooting large birds in flight/action. great details and perfect subject angle.
