Willets from this Morning - 12-28-2011, 10:04 PM

Critique: CC:

I finally had some time to go out to Bolivar Flats and I ran into Tim and Fred. I really wanted to photograph Avocets, but I think Tim shot them all yesterday! It was fun to shoot these guys - I did photograph a few Sanderlings as well, but these guys had better poses.

Thanks for looking and commenting,


Scott

Very nice exposures Scott
I like the second and third image the most.The first one catches my eye also but the composition could be better with more room for the bird to be gazing into IMO.I bet it's hard to stay on those birds while lying in the muck.

Great set...It looks like you were in the water with them.

Great series Scott. It was good to finally see you out in the field. Total of three photographers at Bolivar, that was almost a record.

The light on these is awesome. Framing is excellent. The horizon is off on #1 but all in all this is a great set.
