This is an image from last weekend. This stilt was continuously calling and flying around this pool. It was joined by a few others a little later, eventually calmed down and even ventured closer. This was one of a few times it was not obstructed by surrounding vegetation.
Beautiful capture. I especially like its position in the frame with room at the right and the calling pose. There is an out of focus reed at lower left corner that does distract a bit.
Govind, most excellent. I really like that water. I agree with Jim about the reed on the LLC, especially the one that is going diagonal on that corner. I do want to have a little more room on top but that’s not a big deal. Also, I think you have a little bit of chromatic aberration on the black/white intersection just below the eye. Should be very easy to fix.
Thanks for the feedback, @Jim_Gavin, @Adhika_Lie, @stevenm. I wasn’t sure about the oof vegetation in the llc. Initially I thought I’ll clone it out, but then figured it was at a corner and did not pursue it any further. Maybe I will take it out after all.
