American Avocet in Flight

[Jay Ing]

One from today. Got a bit past me. Don't think I nailed focus. But, I still like it in many ways.

Composition looks good to me with enough space around the bird to convey motion. Looks just a tad front focussed, you didnt mention the technical details?

Thanks for the correction in identification. I'm still rather new to this birding enterprise. Knowing exactly what I just shot is sometimes the hardest part! :)

Jay nice outstretched wings to bad he's not in good plumage, a little bit of a white outline from over sharpening.
Nice colors.
