    I captured this image along Black Point Wildlife Drive at Merritt Island NWR, Merritt Island, Florida. I have gone back and forth changing the image finally settling on this minimalist image of the stilt showing only the bird and the slight ripples. Your thoughts are always welcome. Thank you for viewing.

    Interesting concept here. I'm torn between seeing a tighter crop and showing the water trail.

    I like it just like it is, even in the center location.
    Nice work.

    I like the way this is composed, very different, water ripples make the image even better.

    I really like this. The only suggestion I would have would be to saturate the pink of the legs,

    I too like this one....the striding bird and water trail made me want to take a second look. I always think that compositions are stronger when middles are avoided, and I would really pano this and crop substantially from the bottom.

    I like it because it is different and it tells the story of the birds long journey

    Nicely composed! I would prefer to remove the left a bit and put the bird more toward the left thirds.
