I thought this pose suggested what looked like an interesting dilemma for Mr. Willet. But, of course, there was not really a problem, since getting its feet wet is "what a willet does." The picture was taken yesterday on a dreary day, with very little bird activity near this normally quite active reef. Sure wish the guy's eyes were more visible. Cropped and tweaked minimally; I wanted to include all of both rocks. Would a heavier crop be better?

Hi Wendell, he does look like the decision is a tough one---I would crop from the top to just below the oof rocks, I think they are distracting.

Heres my take wendell - cropped a little from the top, removed the cut off rock RHS.
Selectively sharpened MR Willet.

Hi Wendell,
nice captured action...these little guys know exactly what they want and how to get it...:D the head angle does not bother me because he is busy looking for a snack in such an intense moment...Mr. Peters' cropped repost puts it over the top...well done...:cool:
