Scanning for Snails

[Mike Tracy]

Male snail kite. Osceola County, Fl. I sort of liked seeing how he uses his tail as a rudder.

MKIII, EF500, 1/2000, f/7.1, ISO 640

Great pose Mike and I reckon the crop's perfect!
Cheers from Down Under.... :D

Great focusing and beautiful flight image. Not easy to focus with such a BG. Great eye contact in this capture too.

I love the chosen pano crop. Cool gliding pose, and I too love the tail! The BG is fine for the most part, but I'd try to tone down the pale "X" beneath the bird.
