1DM2n, 600mm.. Full Frame
I took 700 images of this beautiful female Wilson's Phalarope in a few hours, one afternoon this May. I still haven't sorted the images - as I have soo many in all sorts of light, angles and reflections - I dont even know where to start! I took a cautious look this afternoon at this folder, and fixed up this one image, and didnt sort a single thing :(
Always happy to have the photos! But im hearing from many photographers that digital cameras and procrastination dont mix!
Happy shooting!

Great find, details, composition and light. The blue and green work together really well.

You've got a winner here Brandon! Just beautiful colour on the bird and the blue-green BG. Maybe a slight head turn clockwise would be optimal but really there's so much going on here that it's not a big deal. Love the subtle water reflections on the breast of the bird. There seems to be a slight halo around the head of the bird, maybe from sharpening?

I'd only give it a bit more room at bottom as I feel the reflected head is too close to the edge. Otherwise quite spectacular. Good luck sorting out all those images!! :-)

Brandon I'd love to have this image in my collection. I've yet to see this species.

Just lovely. The blue and green and the concentric ripples - not to mention the colours on the bird. Agree with Dan regarding a little more room below but then I think you would need a little more above to keep the bird form moving too high in the image.

Deffinitly a keeper. The colors are a wonderful mix. Especially like the blending and gradation of hues in the water. Well done.

Beautiful composition and well captured.
I may highlight the beak a little more as it seems to be too dark for me.
