James, you have another very fine image here, the BG is really nice with the flowing blue. Nice and sharp, good light. TFS

[Hayath Mohammed]

Love the pose and those blues! Details on the body are very well captured.

The wings look a little flat to me

[Sachin Saraf]

James this is a nice capture...but it looks little tight crop to me...if mine I would have toned down the shine on beak...TFS

[Daniel Cadieux]

Difficult image to manage...looks like a flying bullet! A bit tight in the frame and I too would tone down some of the sheen on the bill. Not my favorite wing position (which they were fully down), but still very impressive.

[Dumay de Boulle]

I think it great, the light is fantastic and the pose is pretty good as is the wing position...You have the BIF thing down!

Hi James,

A stunning image and I agree with the praise others have given. However this is a Greater Yellowlegs---thicker bill base with a lot of paler colouring, bill gives the impression of being very slightly upturned, secondaries edged/notched white.

Regardless of this a great pic.

Best wishes,


Tom Ennis
