Nice pose you caught David with the raised leg. The surrounding water is quite pleasing to view and the reflection is another point of interest. I like your cropping choice also. Exposure and sharpness look good to me. Well done.

[Dennis_Plank]

Very well done on this one, David. Stilt’s usually pose so elegantly and this one is no exception. Exposure, detail, etc. all look good.

[Allen_Brooks]

Stilts make great subjects and you caught a nice pose on this one, David. The background colors are quite pleasing.

Wonderfully pleasing image! Is it a juvenile, with the lighter head? There are two small areas on the reflection of the beak that might be blurred but that’s a very minor issue.
