Hi nick - Sweet light -Love the colours in the water. Reflection is not that strong might consider losing it.
Head is angled slightly away - doesnt bother me that much though.

Love the sharpness, the feather pattern and the trailing water ripple behind the bird. Agree about cropping off the bottom.

Hi Nick,
I like the capture, and the lighting is sweet...agree with Mr. Peters on his cropping suggestion, also you might want to offset your subject a little to the left to get him out of the center, and the head angle is a little off.

Hi Nick, I think this is a Greater Yellowlegs. Nice water colors and light. May crop out the reflection as mentioned by Lance. HA mentioned. Nice details and exposure.

[Nick Palmieri]

Thanks everyone, I was debating on removing the shadow. Here is a a few frames later and I removed the shadow and the head angle was better. Problem is that it now became a pretty big crop...

Nick, I like the tones of the bird better in the first one. The beak has some artifacts here in the second one. But I like the composition and the pose better in the second one. Did you shoot this at DeKorte?
