Black-necked Stilt Pair

I caught this pair in Bayou Sauvage NWR this morning. I liked the framing and the colors (shot under cloudy conditions), and especially the perfectly clean surrounding water. This is full frame with no tilt correction, a relative rarity for me (I often over-rotate my verticals). Larger image included.

E-5 ZD300 F2.8 +EC-20 Wimberley I on GT2531, ISO 400 1/400 f5.7 +0.7EV

The horizontal ripples and the vertical legs provide an added interest. Well seen! Sharon

Hi Bill :wavey: I think this composition is especially well done... the reflections add to the fine symmetry of the image
