Took this shot a little after sunrise this past summer. The stilts were active and would give some erratic flyby's early. Very fun. All C&C appreciated.

Hi Lyle, well exposed on the wings, and stands out nicely against the BG. Comp wise, due to the flight pose, I would crop up from the bottom to create a pano crop. ( just above the brown line )
I'd crop from just below the brown line :). Sharp. I wish that the bird were angling slightly towards you rather than slightly away.
You have a nice sharp bird photographed in good light. Wish he weren't flying slightly away. This is the crop I would consider since I find the lower brown portion a bit harsh next to your lovely stilt.
Thanks all for the feedback! I was worried to try a tighter crop d/t IQ concerns, but it seems to hold up fine. The tighter crop definitely makes for a stronger image. The slight turn away has always slightly annoyed me with this frame, but I have always liked the background.
Appreciate you taking the time to rework my image.Quote:
