Great pose and action, lovely environment, nice light and very detailed - big congrats Edu on this frameable shot! This shows that even an ordinary bird captured well can be an extraordinary image.

Someone once said, "Its not the size of the lens, its how you use it". How true. I took shots at this bird and it did not even come nearly as nice as yours. I have to admit that you are a better photographer than me. Picture perfect specimen of the WBWH. Congratulations. Well done Edu. Mabuhay.

 aaahhh!!!! I can't believe my eyes! Thank you mastah for this honor. I am deeply moved.. towards another birding sortie  Sir ely, I was just about to post that I believe you are better than me. As when I tried out to shoot at a 3.5 degree viewing angle, I could not even see the target, but you can.

WOW!! Excellent work on the exposure Edu!! White and black birds are really tough to get the exposure right, you either blow one or the other. Congrats, a truly deserving shot!! |
