An image from Junes mid west trip, shot in North Dakota. These birds would take flight every time I passed in the car. So I sat and waited for an on-coming car to flush them back. Shot in late day light.

Chris,


The light here is gorgeous. I like the wing position and how he appears to be at your eye level. Very well done.

Beautifully done, Chris. The fact that the bird is right at your level adds a lot.

Chris, Shooting inside a car on a bean bag is real difficult with a 600. AMazed you got anything this good.

Jim
