Killer detail and mood Kirk! Wow!

Ted

Thanks Ted, it's actually pretty easy to get these shots if you're willing to get down and dirty... I always leave dirty.

Dont know if it gets any better than these. I am impressed, especially with the use of the 1.4 TC. Did you use a tripod?
Paul

Thanks for the very gracious words Paul, much appreciated.

All of my shots are always handheld. The 1.4 definitely slows the focus down which is fine for shots like these, but can be a little frustrating at times for birds in flight.

Lovely! The stilt is my favorite. I like the reflection on the Avocet.

Nice diverse series.

Sherman

Thanks so much Sherman, I love the Stilt too. I almost didn't include the Avocet reflection shot, glad I did now.

Hey, I think I recognize this pond!

Lovely work in unbeatable light, Kirk. And you must've been on your stomach for the water-level perspective. Just make sure no-one runs over you in that overflow parking lot!

Best Wishes,
Steve

All beautiful shots Kirk with the 1st and last for me. The exposure and angle of the sun on the stilt is fabulous! Curious why you chose CW on the stilt and matrix on everything else? Also, are you shooting auto iso on these?

cheers,

Ray
