    Default Short-billed Dowitcher

    Rainy season is hitting hard the Yucatan Peninsula. However, I got out on one of the dry afternoons a few days ago. This photo was taken late afternoon just before sunset.

    Nice warm colors and the dof on the foreground water is excellent. Nicely done.

    Love the warm tones here Lorant and the pose of the wader with raised leg - just adds that sense of movement!

    Beautiful colours, nice leg up pose with the pointed toes. I like the low angle too. Personally I would tone down the very brightest spot in upper left, and I would enhance the existing reflection in the eye.

    Lovely colors and great foot position.
    I see a sharpening halo around the bill ( easy fix).
    I like the low POV and the color scheme in this image,

    Nice POV and I really like the feather details on this guy. The raised foot and the golden water look great too. Well done Lorant
