Very nice , even with only one wing. I'm not sure getting both wings would have helped this image for me either.

I think the color of the background contrasts nicely with the white of the bird.

Congrats, AJ! Nice job.

..."where is the rest of the wing".

It is a pleasing shot. The contrast with the background is sweet!

[Angelo]

fantastic shot. I know others, like Harry, prefer 2 wings (but what does he know...mr. half bucket of beer...)

anyway... :D i think this composition only adds to the interest of the image. good job. :thumb

MD if you took it with the 70/300 then you get an award that lens :dunno :scratch
Just picture one lone dude, in the middle of a field next to a large apartment building, spinning in a tight circle, cursing "Focus! Focus! Focus!..." as a seagull circles above and you'd have a good picture of just how much of an idiot I must have looked like... :rofl

AJ,

First off, it's a really nice shot :thumb :thumb Second, quit beatin' yourself up about cutting off a wing :rolleyes It's a well known fact that ALL BIFers have at one time (and some of us do it much of the time....lol) cut off various and sundry bird parts :rofl (white meat or a leg?? :lol)


You stopped his motion and he's sharp as a tack :clap :clap Not to mention the nice background you shot him against :D

Keep it up :thumb The more BIF's you shoot, the easier they become :): One of these days soon, I'm sure we'll see that rare bird butt in flight (BBIF) shot from you.....LOL


Good goin'
Steve

[MuskyDude]

Thanks Troy.


Steve, thanks man. :thumb


To everyone: You'll have made me feel great about posting this pic, I really appreciate it. Thanks!!!!!
