Bonjour Gérard,
J'imagine que tu devais être aux anges d'avoir pu voir cet oiseau extraordinaire. Quelle démarche ce messager sagittaire! Une véritable personnalité!
Une image naturelle comme tu nous les présentes toujours et un cadrage vertical très bien choisi. Très intéressant.
Bonne fin de semaine
Anne

I enjoy the natural habitat setting, and the birds spread legged pose.
Tough light but you've managed it well Gerard.

Hi Gerard.
First of all I like framing of the scene and its impressiveness. Wonderful bird is looked in the field perfectly. I welcome exact selection of the DOF. Bird and surroundings are detailed very well. Exposure is very good despite the direct sunlight. MY kind regards and TFS.

Hi Gérard.
Interesting bird with very long legs. It looks like some pre historic creature in the ancient land. Excellent shot in natural habitat with fine lighting and exposure. Well done and kind regards.

Hello Gerard,
such a lively bird capture. Very tall legs and exciting golden background. You have shown it very nicely as I have never seen this bird.
This is a fast runner i guess.
Your African venture must be very special.
Very pleasant view.

Regards,
Foozi

Good night Gerard,

An excellent capture of this long-legged secretary:) in its natural environment. The details of its head are sharp, and the chosen DOF has yielded a nice, soft background. The low POV also impressive. Great Work!
TFS and have a nice night/Sunday!

Fascinating to see this bird - so unusual for those of us not in Africa! Obviously seen at a distance, but details still good enough to really make it clear what it looks like

Salut Gérard

La première fois que j'avais appris du serpentaire
c'est en feuilletant dans un vieux dictionnaire Larousse,
Excellente photo, avec une belle lumière, excellent POV & DOF,
et choix du cadrage vertical, et une belle lumière,
par sa pose l'oiseau apporte du dynamisme à l'image, TFS
