Where is spring !?!

[Marko Matesic]

We were all surprised with snow this weekend in Croatia......Black-winged Stilts and other non-snow species are caught by snow too .
This one is looking at the grass as she was questioning " Where is spring ?" :)

Cloudy weather....20D+ 100-400@340 ...f/6.3, 1/500 s,+0.33 eV ISO 400, bean bag on floating hide



C&c are wellcome!

I know how he feels! Coming back from FL to VA resulted in weather shock for me :D

I like the pose and composition very much here. I wish there were less dark blobs in the BG or that there were a lot more of them to even things out a bit.

This must be one cold little guy...:eek: Love the composition and the defused soft background...:D

One of my favorite photography subjects is non-traditional winter birds in snowy habitats. Very cool (!) photo. The tuft of grass is an excellent touch, and I like the legs dissapearing gradually behind the wind blown snow.

Nice image. Placement of subject is great, agree with Daniel on tuft of grass. It makes the image for me.

Love everything about this, except the dark blob in the back. You can try the Dodge tool and see if it helps, or if it's OK with your ethics, select that part and run curves to lighten it.

Very nice and strange image showing the current condition of our Earth. :(

Fabs dark blobs are houses near lake and I decide to leave them :)

Very appealing, Marko, with the snow, grass, and bird - great job!
