Sweet. Everything about this is superb. Looking forward to some more from the series, just to make me even more jealous.

hi Brian, spectacular...

hi, valuable criticism is appreciated. thank you friends.

Sweet shot, with beautiful light and great comp. Love it as posted, although both suggestions above might be worth a look.

Hi Paul, That's a very nicely captured action/behavioural shot. The bird looks very sharp, and I love the patterns on the wings. Great to catch one...

Paul, yes I do like it! Super focus and tones, I think the eye is fine, it may be tempting to brighten a bit more but I think it looks realistic as...

Repost - wow - ideal:cheers::cheers:

Brian I love it. The color of the BG and the reflection of the BG in the water is amazing with the color of the Avocet, and as Daniel pointed out,...

What a beauty Dorian! Love everything here. At first glance I felt it needed to be cropped to just below the tail...but then looking again it's as if...

Simply stunning Brian...can't find anything to critique here...always love seeing your work.

Love this one Daniel. Whites look great and the whole composition, bird's pose, HA all work for me. My only gripe is that the bird looks a little...

Daniel just a beauty of a shot. Love the composition and the snow with the crabapples adds immensely. For my taste I would like to see a little...

One of my favorite birds Brian so eloquent and you have brought that forth here. Just a beauty love the leg pose along with the details especially...

Thanks so much Daniel for the kind words means a lot.

How cool, and congrats on your first frame of the species! I love the pattern on the plumage - so subtle at first glance, but so complex when really...

Well now, you just had better hang up your gear as this will be so tough to top! You must be stoked! I like both versions equally (dust spot...

I like the cactus more than I thought I would from the thumbnail, but I don't particularly love it either. It does add context for sure in its...

Sweet light, low angle, neat pose...what's not to like? BG looks great so your touch-up there was seemingly worth it. A shorebird I hope to see...

Volkan, subject looks very nicely processed. Bkg is great. The thorns on the perch add but otherwise, the stem coming up under the rump of the...

Thanks so much Jonathan. I did recrop per Brians suggestion and I thought it was a bit too dark.

Thanks so much Brian ,I do like the vertical crop I had thought about doing it vertical . I just thought it might be too tight .and thanks for the...

Took out the dust spot and did some work on the horizon or edge of pond. Also I thought it needed bumped up some for exposure.

Bill lovely shot and not sure about the cactus, takes away some pretty prominent. Either way I am fine might try Brian's suggestion on making it...

Looks super, the only suggestion from me is the dust spot, as I see it the whites are good but just maybe a little luminosity or blending could...

Thanks for the feedback, I used a group of focus points on the head area(s) so I haven't a clue where focus was, I suspect it was on the RHS bird, ...

Jack, this was in the top three on the list this spring and I'm delighted and blessed to have gotten some frames with him. There were two other males...
