    Hi everybody, today I would like to show you this shot, that I think I've already posted here a long time ago but in a very small size, so here it goes again with better PP and in a larger size, I created this image about a year ago in Pnta Rasa, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, laying in the mud near the shore. Hope you like it despite the light.

    Awesome shot Ramon. Great low angle, lighting/exposure look good, the water on the bill is a plus but the eye is stunning. If I had to nit, I would maybe take some room off the left but I really like it as is. Very nice!

    Great head angle, details and low angle. I like the repost even better. Maybe a bit less contrast for more details in the blacks.

    I have seen this species in Massachusetts on their way from northern Canada to Argentina. Amazing how far they migrate.

    A Hudsonian Godwit showed up in Melbourne Australia a couple of weeks ago. It is hanging out with a small group of Black-tailed Godwits.

    Every twitcher in Melbourne has been out to see the Hudwit because it might be another 5 or 10 years before we see another. It was a really big thing for us.

    I like the repost. The eye contact and exposure look spot on from these old eyes and I like your subject. Also think the color of the water really lends itself to bringing out the colors of the bird itself. If anything and I am not suggesting even to correct it the placement of the waves form an illusion that he is walking up hill.

    Way to get down and dirty! The water drop and eye contact are stellar! Congrats!

    I like the original but the repost is even better. Superb details on the eye and fantastic low "muddy" angle. Very good job!
