p.1 #1 · Long-billed Dowitcher in fading light

This was shot pretty close to where I live in southwest Kansas. The evening light was great. This was at a small lake near Jetmore, Kansas:

Image details:
Nikon D3 with 600mm f/4 lens
1/1250s, f/4.0, ISO 1250
Tripod with Wimberley gimbal head
(selective noise reduction was applied mainly in bokeh area)

Thanks for looking! -Mike U

A nice shot Mike. If you cropped out the bird, you would have a nice abstract too ~ Ron

Scott, Jim, kmunroe, Greg, Birdie, Conrad,
Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the image. When I can't fill the frame with the bird, I have to try to incorporate the BG into the scene to make it work. Thanks again!

I like your use of bands to isolate the subject Mike
