I would say image 3 is the warmest…image 2 or 4 the coolest…image 1 is by far my favorite. Composition is spot on, no distracting elements in the foreground or background, excellent use of the available DOF and I love the wing position and the angle of the head. It’s just a really strong image with beautiful light. Thank you for sharing.

Always sitting in the mud for shorebirds. Lower is always better. Been using the ankle-pod technique a lot lately to get even lower with both the 600 & the 1.4X and the 200-600. No skins, no Gortex — just my butt and my jeans in the mud, the wetter the muddier the worse.

with love, artie
