Outer banks in August almost glows naturally. Shooting the sunset and the bird just flew into the shot. I didn't have time to refocus for the bird so I just let it fly.
Jimmy it was a wise decision to go ahead and take the shot. The bird adds life and action to all of the great colors and shadows. Well done my friend and faved.
Jim - I really like the composition of the shot. It is uncluttered and powerful in its simplicity. The orange and yellows of the sun-filled sky are terrific. It is too bad that the focus being off, whether making crisp the bird or the foreground grasses. Thad
