Black-tailed Godwit part II
I just can't get enough of this bird. I like them even more with a low POV. This is just a great month to shoot these birds and I will:)
This will not be the last one to bore you with:)
iso 320 1/1250 sec. F7.1 Sigma 120-300 with 1.4TC.

All the best,

Edwin Kats

Great shot Edwin.
(I had some wonderful times with these birds in holland some years back.)
Cheers
John
PS I am confused by the vertical line of reflection below the bird

Very, very nice image! I do agree with John about the reflection though!

Thanks guys,

I know what you mean but it's just the way it was. Here is a resized version of the origonal. No PP at all. Hope you can figure this out :biggrin:

Sorry Edwin - I can't work it out ! Its the fact that it's so straight !

I am sure someone will sort it.
Cheers

Hi Edwin,

I think it’ll take a physicist with a degree in light diffraction to figure this one out! :biggrin:

You've just caught one of those unexplainable things that happen in life! :cool:

Lovely capture!

Lovely! Great colours and pov, the drip on the beak makes it. Great capture!

Gorgeous shot Edwin, lovely colours and BG.

Is the reflection just the bill - the dark/light of it matches. Given the angle this would then explain why there isn't a reflection of the bird itself. Can't explain why its in that position though!

Beautiful shot. I love the drop of water falling from the beak.
