Nice pose you captured here Nicolas. The wide spread wings add some action to the picture. The colours are good and you handled the light very well though the dark areas in the wings seems a little underexposed - especially the right wing, but it is a very difficult shot to get right without burning the white areas. May be there are details left in the dark areas - I will try to make a little WS to check it out.

Is this from the Salar de Uyuni?
Beautiful bird in a very good pose, good colours, good handling of the whites.
He looks as if he's coming to drive you away ;-))

Nice action shot, Nicolas. Beautifully sharp and the whites handled well. Only problem is loss of detaille in wings - but you cant have it all!!

This is an awesomee photo. It has great colors, action, DOF and sharpness. Thank you for sharing

Hi Nicolas:

I really like this picture. But u should change or explain in a better way ur note, if u write that this pic was taken in Atacama desert, is wrong, cause thata place is in Chile, and ur picture was posted in Uyuni, Posoti - BOLIVIA.


regards,
Alejandro
