Louisiana Waterthrush

[Jack Backs]

Well....there seems to be a dearth of shores here in mid-Missouri, so I guess I'll make do with what we have. Louisiana Waterthrushs are back for the summer. I found a spot
where they typically forage and set up sitting on the ground covered in camo netting..getting to old to lie on the ground too long anymore. I have quite a few profile shots but
I just like the look of this image. Maybe it's the concentration on the birds face.

Thats pretty cool Jack...The detail on the head is beautiful and I love the DOF. Lovely details and colours on the water ..The facial expression is priceless. Well done

Very clear and lovely colours, possibly a little oversharpened, the brighter plumage is just a little refractile.

Another beauty, Jack. Agree with just slightly over sharpened but the focus is spot on. The water is killer as well. TFS

Like the intent stare on the bird. That green water is pretty neat.
