Pied Stilts

[Tony Whitehead]

Taken a little while prior to my previous posted image before the bird on the right wandered off to forage. The sun was a little higher in the sky so the colour off the background hill is different and I had about a stop more light to work with.
Nikon D810, Nikon 500mm f4 VR, HH, manual exposure, ISO 400, 1/640 f5.6

Lovely composition. Love the relaxed poses and the nice water.

THis could work with more of a pano crop too IMHO.
Lovely water and poses.

Lovely complementary poses with beautiful colours on the water and well captured details on the birds themselves. This is one of those shots that I imagine gets better and better the larger its presented.

Beautiful colors, water and poses and nice IQ. I'd opt for a pano crop as well. Well done.

Love the pastel colors and the composition. The reflection made this image for me. Loi

Lovely colors and reflection , agree with Akos on another version with a Pano crop ! TFS !

Hi Tony, excellent exposure on both Stilts, and I like the different poses, although both 'looking' the same way. Your distant hills create a lovely colour to the water.

Love the beauty and simplicity of this. Sharon

A beautiful image. The calm water looks great here as does the comp, well done.
