Nice. Sharp and well composed. Don't think I would ordinarily notice, but being hopped up on coffee, that tiny strip of green on the top distracts me (unless the perceived green is a side effect of too much coffee or a crappy monitor or both)
I really like the photo. The blue of the water really accentuates the yellowlegs leaving little doubt as to why they are called yellowlegs. I'm not bothered at all by the strip of green at the top. The composition is good and I also like the patterns in the water.
Way to go KD! I love the low angle, perfect pose, and saturated colors. Some might like to see the specular highlight on the bill removed, but its small enough not to bother me. I haven't had a good chance with this species yet.
Sweet bird and soft sweet light. Too much coffee.... Though I like the basic COMP I would not mind some off the bottom to bring this to 3X2.
