I liked the pose and reflection of this Lesser Yellowlegs, I would have likes a lower shooting angle, but I was on a pier.

Truly stunning image David with beautiful action and awesome reflections. Just love this !!! No nits here.
Cool pose and reflection! Maybe a bit more contrast.
Hi David,
Very nice exposure and pose. The reflection is amazing. Excellent capture.
Very sweet. If you had been lower, I believe that the reflection would have been smaller. It looks as if it may benefit from a small CCW rotation. There is an easy way to check. Use the ruler tool to draw a line from the tip of the bill to the tip of the bill in the reflection. Then hit Image/Rotate Canvas/Arbitrary. If it comes up anythign but 0, then it needs some rotation.
Later and love, artie

Great pose and reflection, David!
Great image David. I believe the height was correct as lower would have lessened the impact of the reflection.
You are right about the reflection, good point. Fascinating, I did the ruler tool you suggested and it came up 1.42 ccw, fascinating, thanks!Originally Posted by Arthur Morris
Beautiful shot David that reflection makes the shot for me...
I'll just say "wow"
David I wish that this was in my collection.
Incredible timing. The combination of still water, timing, light, and angle make a great shot. Ya gotta love Artie. Hope you post the rotated shot just so we can see the slight change.

a real keeper David.
The growth of the reflection is most interesting
Impressive capture.....I like as it is!
After that you simply crop (and add a bit of canvas if necessary).
Later and love and keep up the great work. Artie

Such a great dynamic pose!
Great action shot,i love the reflection and the wing position!
Excellent timing, and a superb reflection. Very well captured.
Excellent image. The wing position and reflection are superb!!
Hey David,
I know that most on this site get low...........but if you want this type of reflection......you need to be a bit higher. Very well done.

PS Thanks for the tip Artie. I was wondering how the heck you guys did that?
