As I was laying in the water photographing willets 2 of these dowitchers landed near me. Here is one of them.

Nice image, the low level perspective here makes a great impact here to the image
i like the details and the lovely catchlight caught while preening
BG is good and the water is lovely, the centered composition works nicely here

[Diane Miller]

Just wonderful! That one upturned feather is the grace note.

[Karl Egressy]

Excellent preening pose captured at low angle, Lorant.

Lorant,

very nicely captured. As mentioned above, the low angle really helps this one. I usually have a hard time with compositions where the bird's body is facing one way but the head is facing the other. I think the center crop works well here, but I would have looked at the option of having less on the right and more on the left. You may have done that already.
