Well, the "shower curtain on the mud" technique sure paid off, Jim. The poses with bills crossed are remarkable, and the detail is excellent. I love the pano format, and when viewed large the tiny water droplets around their heads are a bonus. Well done!

nicely done on this inter-action between the couple at work and the added low angle is perfect, sweet one JIM.

I love our black and white avocets but there is something about the lovely colouring of your stateside species that just adds to their beauty! This is a beautiful image, Jim!

I've seen our avocet chicks once, Jim - they were adorable, so I hope you get to see and photograph them in Spring.
