Early morning hunt

[Kalin Botev]

Hey all, spring has been good to me so far. I had some free time and went to a local pond to see what was going on with the spring migration. I was there before sunrise and had no idea of what to expect but was lucky enough to and a couple of black-winged stilts wondered towards me hunting for small insects. I hope you like this one. All comments are more than welcome.
Thanks,
Kalin

I love the grasses blending with the bird. They look so good. Lovely pose on the bird and the BG fits well. I would try and get a little more detail and contrast on the blacks. Nice POV, and lovely detail.

This has a lovely "feel" to it.
I love the grasses and the dew drops,
