Hi Amy, Cool pose and nice light on the subject. I am seeing a lot of artifacts in the BG how large of a crop is this.

Hi Don,

Thank you for your reply. The bg is a bit strange but it is wasn't caused by artifacts, as the air was misty/hazy that morning. The crop is about 30%.

Love the open bill, shooting stilt in flight is quite difficult, and you nailed it. I think the image is soft.

thanks for replying Amy without seeing the raw file its hard to guest what might being causing the problem still a nice image.

Super flight pose, great diagonal comp, and the open bill is terrific. Blacks and whites aren't quite clipped, but I'm wondering what a tiny bit of s/h might do to the bird. Seems to be a little lacking in detail - maybe the light. In any event, I'd love to have this in my files.

pose and BG are great but details are a bit soft

Open bill and the long trailing legs are pluses. Both wings raised fully would have been the bomb. I agree with concerns about sharpness and the lack of fine detail (esp. in the BLACKs).
