    Default Greater Yellowlegs.

    This foraging individual was surrounded by an interesting pastel shade of cyan/blue caused by an oddly hazy and very thinly covered mid-morning light a couple of weeks ago. One of those days where you could look directly into the sun without burning your eyes

    Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/1600s., f/5.6, ISO 800, natural light, handheld while lying prone in the shallow water, about 85% FF.

    Hi Daniel ... lovely image .
    Love the colors and the tonal range , very nice to see the plants breaking the uniformity of the FG/BG .
    Super low POV and the movement of the subject is just very cool

    I REALLY LIKE the color palette and the POV. The random weeds poking up works well here IMO. TFS.

    Nice Dan love the blues and pastel look. As mentioned I think the reeds add to the image along with the green. That is the kind of light we live for makes a great image. Framing is right on. TFS

    Thia is a gorgeous frame Daniel. I love the low POV, the foraging pose and the few blades of grass in the BG.
