Black-necked Stilt "First Year juvenile"

I like the wing position captured and how the bird looks against the blue water bg.:D

Thanks For Looking

Super nice, Jim. It could not be any sharper. The fine details are amazing.

Exceptional mate. I love the wings in the down position. A remarkable image indeed. Well done! :)

Jim,
Wonderful image.
I love the sharpness with the gorgeous background. Lovely!

Wow that's a knock out shot - super detail and colours excellent pose.

Excellent flight pose, great details and sharpness, really like how you manage to captured the bird parallel to the sensor. Excellent job.

Top drawer Jim. Great background (love the subtle horizontal bands) and a perfect exposure.

nailed it James , killer image as usual

superb image

beautiful wing position,eye contact,details!

Great BIF image James, good exposure especially the wings and good sharpness overall. The pose is typical of these guys in flight , well captured.

Very nice...I love this!! I only wish the red iris was more prominent...could you dodge and sponge (if needed) it a bit for added punch to the eye?

Great wing position Jim, and I like the light, colours and detail. Nicely separated from the water BG too. Well captured.

Jim, nothing substantial to add. This is one heck of a shot. Great wing position and bird parallel to the sensor makes all the difference.

Picture perfect James.:) The pose, BG and sharp details all came together nicely for this one.
