Nice Avocet Allen. Fun shore birds. Perhaps a little more off center would improve this already good image.

Nice photo in neat habitat; I agree with Ralph, cropping a bit off the right had side would improve an already strong photo.

Great image Allen. The colours on your avocet are stunning.
If it was mine I would crop a tiny bit from the bottom - just the dark bit - and a wee bit from the right hand side.
still a beautiful photo though.

What a beautiful photo of this Avocet Allen and very different from the usual wildlife photos from Yellowstone. The bird is very sharp and you even got his entire reflection in the image. Really nice!

Nice capture of this beautiful bird. I was just in Yellowstone, but didn't realize that these guys would be in the pools at the geysers.I particularly like the reflection.
