This morning I watched as five avocets foraged for food. This one found a pretty big invertebrate (I think), which it seemed to play with for quite a while. I had not seen an avocet come up with one that large before.The image is cropped, NR run on the water, and two tiny splashes of water cloned out.
Good exposure and I love the open bill and food morsel. A pan crop as suggested by Robert would bring focus on the bird and it`s reflection as well as make the slightly higher angle less obvious.
Lovely action captured Wendell and good exposure in bright light conditions. Love the ripples spreading out from the action and the two around the lower bill.
