    Sitting on the beach at Ft Desoto when I saw this Willet preening I knew if I waited he would do a little jump and landing when he was done.

    It's great to know the behavior of birds. Very appealing clarity.
    Had you considered tightening the crop from top and right?

    Don, Nice pose and sharpness, I like the composition. Wish the head was turned just slightly-but that is only my personal preference. Ft. Desoto is a lovely beach and I wish I lived closer.

    Lovely shot , for me just a tiny bit bright, I suspect the jpeg compression has just tipped it a little.
