This was last light on the marsh and this pintail took off fairly closeby. I like the light on this bird and the complementary marsh colors.

D300
300F4
F6.3
1/250
ISO 1000

Comments and criticism appreciated.

Nice light and I like that it had just cleared the reeds. I wish the head wasn't turned away from the camera.

Beautiful light and a great palette, Jim. Nice job freezing the body and I like the bit of blur in the wingtip.
