Lesser Yellow Legs Reflective Moment
A late bird in my neck of the woods, this was shot on a very cold and cloudy December morning.
The bird was back lit and I added enough EV compensation to light the bird without blowing the whites on it, thereby blowing all of the color in the calm surface of the Grey / white water.
Nikon D2Xs, 500 AFS II lens, TC14EII, ISO 320, matrix metering, +1.7 EV compensation.
Now You're Being Nitpicky :)
Actually, I never even would have thought of that myself.
I had originally thought greater, but the local bird experts pegged this one as a Lesser based on relative size from another image where it was sitting next to a definite Greater.
I'm not totally convinced however.
