    Beautiful! A great pose that show off this bird very nicely. The image appears sharp and well exposed to me with good detail throughout. I also find the background very pleasing. Well done!

    Great low angle, detail, color, pose. I would agree with Peter add a little to the left.

    Hi James:

    Absolutely love this capture and pose. Now I realize why it's called the Black-necked Stilt. You don't see this definition on the neck of the adults. In a perfect world a little on the left may be helpful but it's a great one as is.

    THis is excellent work James. Lovely stretch and for some reason I like the tight presentation. Well done. :)

    The low angle works exceptionally well here, and great timing to capture the stretch. Sharp, well exposed, and what a killer BG. Great image James.

    Just fantastic! Can't find any detractions at all. Composition is very strong and the colours are exquisite.
