Marvelous image of Greater Yellowlegs in habitat.Lovely lights and water droplets around bird.
Loved Details,nice low angle,great pose and lights in the water.
Hi Gail, good placement in the frame, and I like your comp with the extra space above the water showing the grass/reeds. Good HA, and the flying droplets add interest.
I agree with the comments above, but I would prefer to see the whites in the bird's rear flanks toned down a bit. I too especially like the water droplets.
Very nicely done ... great bathing pose and composition with excellent detail!
I like the sense of habitat provided by the BG but agree it's a bit overpowering.
A heavy does of noise reduction selectively on the BG might take the edge off a bit.
