Hello everybody,
I liked this Avocets crossing.
Canon 40D 100-400 @400
F7,1
1/600
400 ISO.
Thank you very much for your viewing.
C&C are very welcome

Monica,
I like the soft blue of the water and the delicate & subtle tones of the Avocets, I find them to be extremely graceful looking birds.
I find myself wishing for some light in both bird's eyes in this image, but you would have needed to be on the other side of them where it appears the light was coming from.
I do like the poses of both avocets, one with the head up and one with the head down, one appearing to be standing still and the other striding through the water.

Avocets are such appealing birds. I wish I could see them more than the rare occasions that I have.
Yours are looking good, but it would be so nice if you had been able to photograph them on their light side rather than their shadow side.

Beautiful birds. I never see them in this plumage. I like the setting and poses, but agree that the image would be significantly better if you could have shot them from the opposite side.

A nice capture, and you did a good job with what the birds gave you. I think American Avocets must be America's most photogenic shorebird, and you did them justice.
