An other early morning on the Black-hall River in Ct.  These  Willets were work the mud flats all morning.  The photo  is cropped by 30% and had some light levels adjusted in Lightroom.

Nice grouping of these two, Peter.  I like the good eye view of the leading bird and the open beak of the following one.  Nice placement in the frame.  I don't know if you've started doing cloning yet, but if you are, I'd think about removing the two bright spots above the trailing bird's bill.  They draw the eye from the rest of the image.

Good catch! Personally, I like the little specks of light. While they do catch the eye, they are a good counterpoint to the dark and dour mud flats.laugh

Hi Dennis and Phil

I cloned out the two bright spots and I will let you judge witch photo is better.  Thanks for the comment.
