Hi Dorian, Well that is sure pretty, wonderful work and you nailed the flight pose, excellent HA, sure the far wing could be extended fully but this is tops!

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the smooth BG, flight angle and composition. I agree with the far wing position but I would still call this a keeper. Nice image Dorian.

[Alex Becker]

Sweet pose, BG, details, and I love the trailing feet. I don't mind the far wing, although in a perfect world it could be further up. Not much to critique on this one from my POV. TFS

Looks great Dorian. That "new" 600 treating you well I see. I must get out there one of these days to shoot shorebirds. Love everything about this one. This is a really hard shot to get, especially with the 5d4. Congrats!

Hand held or tripod?

Cracking good. Fare wing position could be better. Otherwise fantastic!

Handheld - only time I bother with a tripod is in the tropics. These speedsters would be tough with a tripod!

Killer dorsal view of this dowitcher. Nice detail. Love that blue water background.
