p.1 #1 · American Avocets


Captured these on the same afternoon as the Black-necked Stilts I posted a few days ago. Did I mention that I LOVE this pond.

D300 | 300 f/4 w 1.4 TC | Exif Intact

All C&C are greatly encouraged and most appreciated. Thanks for looking at what I love to do.

Kirk

I would really love to visit this pond - seems like a wonderful place. More gorgeous shots here - all of them are awesome. Great job workin the low angle, it made for some really nice bg's, and great perspective on the bird.

Great shots Kirk my friend! I can see how you position yourself to get the shots ... Do you have a mat or go dirty up like some of us? Those strained muscles at the neck and the back need deep-tissue massage ... All are awesome, but #3 is top for me with great eyes contact and the mud droplets.

Beauties, as usual, Kirk. Did I mention that we get neither AA's or Stilts around here?

Too sweet buddy, it's nearing summer time so I'm guessin you don't need to lay down your blanket now

It's all here my friend, the water action, color and folks, this is how you expose an Avocet!!!!!
Picking #2 but it was dang hard

Kirk, they look all great but the BG and water action in #2 makes that my favorite.
As a user of the same lens with 1.4TC I really appreciate you leave the exif intact. Thanks.

You would love this pond David, I'm so surprised that more folks don't take advantage of this spot. Thanks so much for the visit and good words.
