I was pleased to capture Mr and Mrs Stilt trotting across the mudflat so close together this morning. The image is not as sharp as I 'd like, but with my setup (2X) I often have to settle for a less than "perfect" picture.

This shot really shows the differences between male and female. I like the parallel head positions and the muddy feet.
I wish the light wasn't so harsh,

Have to agree with Gail, good composition but too bad they didn't stroll past you earlier in the morning.

Wendell:

Lots of good stuff here, love the striding poses, the non merging (other than legs). Agree a bit harsh/bright.

On the repost, I ran a luminosity layer, with a mask, multiply blend layer at 79%, selective sharpening. You can do better on the original.

Worth another look IMO.

Cheers

Randy, 'preciate your work on this -- and the explanation . . .
