A black-necked stilt taken several weeks ago. I'd love to know your thought on it. Thanks!

Hi Amy, Cool pose and nice light on the subject. I am seeing a lot of artifacts in the BG how large of a crop is this.
Hi Don,
Thank you for your reply. The bg is a bit strange but it is wasn't caused by artifacts, as the air was misty/hazy that morning. The crop is about 30%.
Love the open bill, shooting stilt in flight is quite difficult, and you nailed it. I think the image is soft.
thanks for replying Amy without seeing the raw file its hard to guest what might being causing the problem still a nice image.Quote:

pose and BG are great but details are a bit soft
Open bill and the long trailing legs are pluses. Both wings raised fully would have been the bomb. I agree with concerns about sharpness and the lack of fine detail (esp. in the BLACKs).
Thank you all for your comments.
