Shot this Phalarope last week. They were eating thousands of newly hatched mosquitoes,which are not in short supply in Nd.This is about the only frame that had very few on the surface of the water. Mosquitoes are in the bill.
Processed with Dpp 4 and Photoshop used neat image on the background couldn't get an acceptable box on the bird. Thanks in advance for comments and critiques.

Reason: add info
Beautiful bird and I like the crop. I don't know if the critical focus point was on the head or not, but the whole bird looks soft. I would try more sharpening, see if that makes a difference
Yes to a pano crop as there is way too much empty space above the bird.
woith love, artie
