[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
G'day Friends
Long time since posting something of any value. I bought myself a Nikon 500mm F4 lens, and this was one of the first shots with the new baby. There is definately room for improvement, and that will come with time. This is a "Blacksmith Lapwing"(Plover)
I was just lucky to catch it in this pose.
Enjoy and feel free to crit or comment

Hi Jan
Nice moment you catch. Good background colors.

Very nicely composed & sharp image Jan, the combination of D200 and 500mm lens has worked well here.

What a bird! I've never seen one like this before. Great details and crop. Lovely lighting, contrast, off-center compo and framing.
TFS!

I can only envy your fantastic gear but I can see that all techs are in place:-)! A wonderful photo of a lovely bird!
