Greater Yellowlegs

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Captured this single image last October at Brigantine NJ as the sun was rising. There was a 6th. Yellowlegs on the right, but a bit of his wing was clipped. C&C welcome.

D500, Nikon 500mm f/4G + 1.4 TC, 1.2500s, f 7.1, ISO 1000, Gitzo, Wimberley Gimbal head.

I like the image a lot.

Nice wing positions and reflections.

Thanks for sharing.

The odd number is nice. Pretty cool how you have three with down wing positions.

I like what you had here, and the vegetation in the water adds a lot. I'm torn on the reflections, but they add balance to the current comp.

Good to get them all in focus Geoffrey. In my experience, that's very hard to achieve in shots like this. The light is beautiful and the reed stumps add, along with the still water and reflections. Nice work.

Thanks everyone.
