Another juvenile Reddish

Gallery: AvianPosted September 2, 2012103 views5 comments

I went out to the beach in Gulfport this morning, slogged through the debris brought in by Isaac, and found this one fairly cooperative Reddish. Didn't put on much of a show, but I got a few decent images. Full frame (kind of liked the extra "real estate"). Larger image included.

Really nice feather detail in the larger version, nice eye and pose too.
Seems just a tad off-level..
This crop is fine - I'd also like to see a closer one, since the bird is so nice.

Nicely done, I like the raised foot.

A couple of the waves in the front do make it look very slightly tilted. But...I think if you rotated clockwise a bit to compensate, then the band of OOF color up toward the top would be tilted. So works for me as is.

I like the soft colors, the raised foot, the sharp eye and details. Great capture!

I love the pose, Bill. I agree that the extra space works well here.

Nice mid-stride capture and eye contact Bill
