Yellowlegs Reflection

[Aidan Briggs]

I received suggestions on my last image to include the whole reflection, ad I did so with this image. While it lacks the the open bill as in the other image, I like the water drop in this image.

Pretty much full frame.

Very painterly feel, soft light, pose, EXP control and detail.

Sure Adds well to the setting of the image, the water droplets works greatly to the frame...

very nice Aiden,like the color of the water and BG,nice detail in the bird,and I like the water droplet.thanks.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like this for the same reason as the previous one and the inclusion of the reflection adds to it even though the water is not completely calm.

[Marc Mol]

The exp, detail & colour are spot on Aidan, water drop a nice bonus.

Very nice Aidan - I love the painterly feel and the water drops take it over the top for me :)

[Simon Bennett]

I like the composition and crisp presentation Aidan. The drop adds interest and good job with exposure.

Superb light and SH. The bird is a molting adult greater. The low angle and the color of the water is super sweet. When the reflections fade as they get near the head as here I am fine with not going out of one's way to include it. I'd rather that you had gotten closer here (though with this bird in this position there really would not be a good place to cut the reflection.

[Aidan Briggs]

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Artie: I posted a different image where I cut the reflection. Here is the link: http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...read.php?69592

Great low angle and reflection. Like the comp and water drop. Subject is well exposed with good natural colours. Well done !
