Just a short selection of some wading birds that I've happened upon in the area.

As always, I'd love to hear your suggestions and constructive criticisms! In particular, what are your thoughts on #4? It was a delete due to bad framing, but I wonder if this heavy crop works to salvage it? The original full image is posted below the cropped version for reference.

Very nicely done Mitesh. 1 and 3 stand out. 4 works very well for the crop, but you have lost a little iq. I've got to get down your way, but first I want another shot at the OBX bears ~ Ron

Thanks for the feedback, Ron. My wife would tell you I never had much of an IQ to start with, so there isn't much to lose ....

Be happy to have you down here anytime! I'm waiting to get back to OBX again, also. Hopefully next week sometime...

Another fine set, Mitesh and I like what you did with #4. That changed the story of the image emphasizing more the little fish which becomes the subject of the shot.
In other words is about the fish being caught rather then the bird catching the fish.

These are all good with 1, 3, 4 and the last my picks. The 4th could be a bit brighter and the crop is very effective

Super set Mitesh,

I like your close up crop of no.4, it makes for a dramatic image. I'd certainly be keeping that one if I'd taken it!

These are great! 3 and 4 are terrific, because they each tell a story. In 4 your crop emphasizes the eyes of the fish and the droplets of water and works beautifully. It's the kind of image that someone flipping through your images will not be able to ignore.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the composition in #4, Socrate. As usual, to hear you explain things is very insightful and makes me think of things that I didn't catch onto .

Thanks, Morris. Good call on maybe bumping the exposure a tad bit in #4.

Glad you liked it, Paul, and I guess I'll hold onto it !

Thanks for your thoughtful comments, Nancy. I was hopeful that the crop would salvage the image (albeit with reduced IQ and some noise), and I'm glad to hear that it works for you!

Nice set! Like everyone else, #4 is the one that really caught my eye. It's amazing what a crop can do.

There's that damn squirrel again

Another excellent set Mitesh, you do set a really high bar 2 & 5 take the cake for me out of this fine set.

My thoughts on 4 go against the grain of popularity here. I don't think I would delete it but I see to many things I don't like in it. To me it is OOF, my eyes wander between the fish and the bird and it's a bit noisy. That's my honest opinion
