Black-necked Stilt

Frances, Nice use of bokeh and i like that you caught the bird in midstride! The bird really has a sense of presence, which you captured beautifully. I had someone critique one of my marsh bird photos and some reeds were crossing the primary bird in the photo. He recommended that I photoshop out those reeds. I'm not sure that I liked that effect better, however I share that with you to see if you think it would be better to photoshop out the reed intersecting the beak. Nice capture.
