It's not often I get a yellowlegs posing for a second with a morsel in its bill, so I was happy when this one did just that. A raised foot would have been bonus, but the faint concentric circle from where the prey-plucking occurred is a nice consolation prize IMO.
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II+ 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/200s., f/5.6, ISO 1600, natural light, handheld, FF, a few specks in the water removed, and usual contrast / saturation / tonality teaks to taste, but otherwise as seen.
