Lesser Yellowlegs

[Bill Dix]

This one from Cape May Point State Park back in October. I liked the reflection of the early morning light in the water. Full width, cropped to pano to remove some cluttered water fg. Wasn't able to get a lower POV at this location.

D7000, 700mm, ISO 800, 1/1600s @ f/7.1 manual, fill @ -1.7 EV.

Really nice photo Bill.
The IQ is fantastic. I wish I could get mine as good.

Like the intensity you've captured Bill. Very nice use of fill light.

[Arthur Morris]

Very nice done. I love the background tones in this image of a worn juvenile.

[Frank Schauf]

Beautiful portrait, great details and sharpness.

Hi Bill, excellent detail, and your fill flash is very subtle - good work. Im fine with your shooting angle, and I like the hint of colour in the water above the bird.

Solid shorebird image. Nice control of the whites which are easy to blow in this light quality. Subject movement captured well. I like the crop too, mainly because it looks good and I would be visually challenged to consider a crop like this. Nice work.

[Grace Scalzo]

Beautiful, Bill, I really like your choice of crop. Mimics the shape of the bird and ties everything together.

[Holger Leyrer]

Wonderful shorebird image. Love the low angle, colors and details. I like the little waves in the water.

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Not sure you needed to get any lower, Bill. Big fan of the bit of color and texture in the background bc of it.

Maybe just a tad of sharpening on the head.

[Bill Dix]

Thanks everyone. Always appreciate your comments.

'Like it...saw quite a few today on Merritt Island. The bird is concentrating on something for sure.
