Marbled Godwit

[Bill Dix]

Another from my California trip in October. I liked the coy pose in this one, from Moss Landing. C&C appreciated.

D7000, 700mm, ISO 800, 1/2000s @ f/6.3 manual.

Beautiful pose, terrific light and IQ. Love the metallic sheen that the water has.
May be it's level, but it seems to need CW rotation.

Superb light on this one Bill. I know its a minor point but I wonder about that highlight on the lower breast. I know its natural so maybe it should stay . I agree maybe a teeny bit of rotation.
Cheers

I love the gracefully pose. Light is very good and the details are great.

[Jim Crosswell]

Excellent image Bill! I like the walking pose, sharpness, details, HA, water and partial reflection.

[Bob Pelkey]

Very appealing light to highlight the color of this species. The appealing reflection balances the eye of the bird too high in the frame for my mindset.
