Greater Yellowlegs

[Brian Barcelos]

This is one of the guys hanging out with the Whimbrel from my previous post. They wouldn't let me get to close and this is about 75% of the original image. Not sure if the dark lines above the bird are distracting, I believe they are sand bars left from the receding tide. I was also in the water here to get the proper sun angle and right after this a blue crab was attempting to pinch my toes, just another hazard of bird photography I guess.;) I appreciate all C/C, Thanks for looking.

I like the walking pose, sharpness and soft light. I wish for a bit more head turn towards you and if it were mine I might remove the lines and spots at the top.

Brian, Nice pose and details look good. Might clean-up a few spots up top. But doesn't bother me too much.
