Here is the a shot of the male Red-necked Phalarope which I mentioned on my previous post.
As you can see, this one is not as pretty as the female of the species.
When I took the shot, the sun had gone behind the clouds so I could not get a catchlight.
As part of the post-processing I cloned out the head of a phalarope that was swimming left side of this one and I also did a 2-degree CCW rotation.
These are a pretty species indeed. Nice low angle!

Great shot. I like the diffuse light and the wave action.

I love the dof in this. The wave is sharp just at the bird's location, very nice.

Great image Luis. I like the sharpness, details, lighting and DOF.

Luis, very nice. sharpness, HA, low angle, exposure...pretty much perfect. This also has nice depression in the blurred waved in Fg giving a very clear view. This is what I was referring to in the last shot. When water is choppy, bird is moving up and down and so are the waves in between you and the bird. Always a good idea to fire bursts to maximise chances of that unobstructed view. HA is always tough on phalaropes...you nailed this one.
