A unique and very interesting shot of one of my favorite birds. The only thing that could improve it would be if the reflection was a little sharper.

Did you use a blind or a car for this?
I ask because I want to try that species, too. But where I live, they take off if you get closer than 150 meters.

Great idea and crop. I might sharpen the bird's left leg some more.

I must say this is a crop I've not seen before. I'm not sure it works for me but it definitely grabs my attention. Nice idea. With the nice details I'm wishing to see the whole bird.

I like it, but I'd like to see both feet sharp Manos.

[Fabs Forns]

Hehehehe, you are lucky I'm not hijacking this to Out of the Box, or Alfred stealing d=for his private feet collection :) :)

Very clever, well done!

[Steve Canuel]

Interesting comp Manos. I don't mind the relative difference in sharpness between the two feet but the blurred area between the legs really distracts my eye.

Hi Markus,
Was created from a hide in Hungary!

Hi Markus,

I would have a bet 50 bucks on that.

This is a typical shot from Bence's Hide.

I like the Symmetrie here
