I went out east this evening with a couple of friends, looking for rare terns that have been spotted. We did not find them, but willets were the stars of the evening.
The plants really frame the bird, so just for this one I will not mind the centered compo :), the background is nice and the pose is very nice, it looks like he is posing for you, the light seems not to be the ideal, but it still works for me. Congrats!
