Willet - Missed Again

Gallery: AvianPosted March 4, 2017169 views5 comments

Here's one from 2010. This guy was feeding in the shallows just after first light. I don't know what he was after, but obviously missed the meal. It's not very sharp, but I thought the rather comical posture and splash in the sweet morning light made it work well. 75% of original.

I can't tell that it's not sharp. I love the colors and the pose and reflection and the water splash.

Hi Bill:

Pretty cute pose. You're right that it isn't very sharp. That's too bad, as it was a cool frame.

Such an interesting action/pose/reflection image. Unfortunately not sharp.

Different and very cool pose Bill. The water trails and reflection add a lot imo. The Willett looks very sharp.

Bill: I like the pose and you're right about the light. It's very soft and light. Richard
