    Default American Avocet

    Photographed this Avocet at a marsh south of Albuquerque the other day. There was a breeding pair and 4 babies. I like the green BG in this photo. AF was not easy when the Avocets would fly low against the marsh vegetation, but I was fortunate with this frame.

    Great light, pose and details but the BG puts it over the top for me. Maybe a slight crop off the top?

    Great job of AF and perfect wing position. Select the whole bird with a QM, sharpen it a bit more, and see how you like it.
