Lesser Yellowlegs Marsh Vegetation Habitat.

[Daniel Cadieux]

A few weeks ago I posted an image of this individual in the same sort of setting. Here's another that I rather like as the legs are more visible and some of the vegetation is clearer too. From the low angle in the tall stuff I did not get as many keepers as when in the clear, but it was worth going for it!

Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4 TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/400s., f/7.1, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, small crop for comp, my usual eye work, and some of the brighter oof spots toned down via low-opacity clone brush.

Beautiful as presented Daniel! Love the contrast between the soft OOF grass and the razor-sharp bird. I wonder if the image would be enhanced with some subtle vignetting in the corners?

[Markus Jais]

Stunning shot. Fantastic light and colors. Perfect composition.

Daniel,

You've got a way with subjects in green environments, always pulling it off nicely. This is no exception. I might think about cloning out the brown in the bg (left side of the frame). Otherwise, just gorgeous!

Another cracker of an image Dan! Like the habitat and the sharp bird in good light.
