    Default marbled godwit at sunset

    One more of this beautiful bird at sunset. I cropped out a laughing gull from the left end. CC are welcome.

    Such an interesting looking bird and beak! I really like the sunset colors and the transition levels from blue to orange to green. Nice head turn too, TFS

    Very nice! Shows the rhynchokinesis (?sp) of the bill very well!
    Great POV and lovely light.
    Very nice Lorant,

    This is a great image of a great bird. In terrific light and with your signature low POV.

    Agree with all above. Bird, light, color, POV are all excellent. Being super picky I would clone out the 2 vertical lines in the background that are above the birds body.

    Beautiful Capture. I like the low point of view and the out of focus back ground.

    well done.

    Wow. I've seen and photographed so many godwits but never saw the rhynchokinesis to this degree. Impressive image.
