I'm sure everyone's had about enough of the stilts. I promise I'll change it up after this one. Local treatment plant, right as the sun came over the trees. For whatever reason, these birds are very hard to get the far wing in a favorable position. Cropped to a 16x9. All C&C appreciated.
It's hard to get tired of stilts, Lyle. Along with Avocets, they rank way up there in my list of favorites. Nice control of whites here and a very pleasing BG. You've managed to maintain detail in the underwing, tough on these guys. Good job!
I mentioned it before,you are getting better and better with these Stilts. Nice exposure control and detail on this one and the pose is pleasing. Great BG tops off a real keeper.
Funny to look at your images from the treatment plant, they remind me of a similar place I used to shoot Stilts, all of them have muck on their legs. Well done
Lovely colors and inflight pose. Maybe it's just my monitor, but I think just a tad more contrast would make the bird pop a bit more. It seems a bit soft, but still lovely.
