I took this just before sunset and with the sun just going behind some clouds. A new location for me so lots to learn about it.
1D Mk 4, 500mm + 1.4 TC, 1/800 @ 5.6, ISO 800, manual mode and from car.
Clean up of water - little bits of stuff and I lightened the eye as it was almost black and not showing the red parts.
Thanks Tom

Nice smooth water and the Stilt looks very good.

Tom, great exposure control. I like the bill touching the water. Needs a slight CW rotation.

Lovely species and well done with your low angle and getting that red eye to show up. Repost corrected the issues I had with horizon & comp. What a stunning bird.

I was going to post a Stilt image until I saw this....nice work! I would like the crop somewhere between the OP and the repost.

Still post your Stilt Image Colin - I like my original comp with more room. Thanks all for the comments.
