Lesser Yellow LegFeeding

Canon 1D Mark IV , ISO 640, 840mm, f 10, 1/8-00 sec, +1/3, pp (crop, sharpening and a small spot remove).

This bird was working its way along the wetted edge of a water impoundment at Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge on the West Desert of Northern Utah. I am not so fond of the floating moss but overall happy with the way the OOF highlights the bird and reflection……

Nice sharp image! Well done IMHO. I see what you mean about the floating moss, but in a way it adds to the image by showing the environment the bird is in. Thanks for sharing.

I would agree that the moss is a little distracting but overall a nice shot. I like the pose and the reflections of the grass and the bird in the water. The light looks a little harsh and contrasty.
