Wonderful shot.
Exposed very well, great pose, nice details, and very nice light.
Well done.

Tom:

Lovely bird with excellent profile, bill shows great. Very nice light, smooth BG, all good.

From a comp standpoint, I would prefer a sliver more on both sides, with a bigger increase on the right.

Cheers

Randy

Hi Tom,
The light is beautiful. Great BG and love the blues.
I see a need for a bit of CW rotation.
These birds are so pretty.

Beautifully lit bird. I like the head angle and eye contact. Exposure looks good.

[David Salem]

Awesome light and great exposure control. The bill stands out from the BG nice and the catch light is perfect. Great Job...

[Daniel Cadieux]

Tight in the frame for me, but I love the low angle, silky smooth undulating water, and the sweet light. Good techs, sharpness too.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Beautiful bird, well done on getting the low angle. I also like the soft light however would have prefered a little more space all round. Excellent sharpness as well, like this alot.

[Marina Scarr]

Killer light and pose here. What a gorgeous bird and you have nice details and colors here!!! Agree on rotation and a bit more space.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very nice bird, light and pose. You are very lucky by having these birds near you.

Love the little bit of foot poking through the feathers :bg3:
Nice work getting so close to this species, Tom.
I'd like more space all the way round.
Just this weekend I had my first ever Avocet session and I'm stoked with what I came away with.
