I captured this guy calling in a pond at the edge of San Francisco Bay. The background is pickleweed.

Very nice portrait Aiden! The BG is awesome and the light is VG too! Nice one all around!
Such a killer portrait. Love the plumage, the calling pose and BG.
Absolutely superb picture. Good exposure, tack sharp, open beak...I love it!

Yup...sharp, wonderful pose, and full of detail. The camera angle helps to draw us in as well.
Great job.

This is a killer image, Aidan. It is nice and sharp. Love the BG and a nice calling pose. Your comp/crop is right on the money.
nice portrait Aiden,great BG,nice detail.thanks.
Great detail against that OOF BG! Great portrait and the open beak adds!!!:S3:
This is brilliant. Handheld with a Canon 500, Hats Off........
A real beauty Aidan! I like the composition, sharpness, open beak and complimentary BG.
Tack sharp Aidan, and well timed to get the open bill. I do like the exposure and colours on the avocet, and against a lovely smooth BG. No one has mentioned it, but I would run a touch more NR on the BG.
Perfect portrait Aidan.... love it :S3:
Stunning. Super sharp and well exposed with a killer bg and colours. Super shot !!!
