Willet Evening Light 3

It was interesting to notice how much texture (and detail) I was able to get with full frontal lighting. Shot late evening on Friday. Cropped to 4x5 from right. Larger image included.

E-5 ZD300 F2.8 +EC-20 Wimberley I, ISO 200 1/640 f6.3 -0.3EV

Good color and sharp -- I like the water droplets on the beak. Wishing the blue shore line did not cross at the head

Nice detail and light. Wish for a slight head turn.

Excellent lighting and detail here Bill, a lower angle might have improved this. :toast:

Wonderful light and I like your composition with the shadow placement. The larger version detail looks great, way to go.

Lots of good stuff about this image. Great light, low angle, one legged stance and that nice drop of water on the end of the beak. Very nice.

Very nice Bill. I like the water droplet and the setting.
