Hi Dave, well done on capturing him against the green foliage BG. Good exposure on the underwing, sharp, and the stilt stands out very well.

Very nice flight shot -- I like that red eye and detail in the blacks.

terrific image , lovely wing and feet position and killer BG

Quite different to our species, like the BG and wing positions would be tempted to crop tighter.

Fantastic image with the details visible in wings and catchy eyes and ultimate BG...

[Juan Aragonés]

Very good exposure job Dave, superb BG and wing position, perfect light angle and a composition that I really like. Very good job on this long legs guy ;)

This is fabulous. Great detail in both the whites an blacks. No dreaded intersection of the legs and water/foliage line. The body, wing and legs have a really interesting 2D geometry. At first I thought about cropping tighter, like Arash, but as I look more I think that would be a mistake.

Thanks to all for looking and for comments,they are all appreciated.

Fantastic capture. Excellent posture, details and background. I would also try a tighter crop.

Sidharth thanks for your thoughts.
