Hi Guys,

Since i did not have a lot of time to go out and shoot much these days i decided to post another from my trip to the BT-Godwits. I just love the light i had that day and i really enjoy photographing these gracious birds.

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Another nice one Jeroen, though not in the league of your previous image, nice light and pose from the two birds but on this occasion the OOF bird isn't helping the composition IMO.

Still one I wish I had in my files though.

Another nice shot Jeroen but I agree with Phil's comments

Light to die for,The 2 main birds are perfectly posed but agree re the bird at the back

Looks good to me Jeroen. The OOF bird is not too distracting but adds little to the shot.

Lovely light indeed, but shame about the third bird.
