Creek Shore Bird

[Jack Backs]

Same bird that I posted an image of a few day ago. The light was getting a little harsh as it was later in the mourning. For some reason or another, creeks tend to run in low lying areas that don't get much sun early in the morning????
Even this area will probably be shaded in a week or two as the trees leaf out. Louisiana Waterthrush. Full frame. Straight size reduction.

The light is a little harsh but you handled it well. Like the setting.

I like the shot, I would suggest removing or at least considerably reducing blues, raising the shadows and slightly lowering the highlights.

Nice pose and detail. I find the specular highlights a bit distracting, but not a killer.
