Marbled Godwit - was it worth losing my wedding ring......?
Vaguely remember seeing the band on my hand when I grabbed my rig yesterday late afternoon, but it was gone by the time I sat down at the compute this morning. Ugh.
At least it was a cheap ($150), relatively. Will miss the engraving the most.......

Now you need to scan every Ring-billed Gull or Ring-necked Duck I guess! The image is beautiful, only a higher near wing position would have made it better, but it is still fine as is.
Superb as noted by Dan missing only a raised near-wing.

This is spectacular Dorian! The soft light with that light blue against the warmer colors of the Godwit really is a good combination. Great head angle, exposure and comp too. As mentioned a raised near-wing would have been nice but I think it works as is.
Is this a big crop? I ask because of the hint of noise on the bird. I hope you find your wedding ring!!
