A touch big in the frame, but a beautiful photo.

Nice shot. I like everything about this one except the title (this is a Western Sandpiper :wink: ).

You digital folks sure have an advantage to us slow film users when it comes to freezing the leg motion with your blistering shutter speeds.

Well this time I don't feel so bad screwing up the ID, it passed a bunch of others. Thanks Robert!

What a great shot....and you got the raised foot without blur (something I always seem to get). I like the tight shots so it's certainly a winner by my standards.

Very nicely done. Sharp and composed well. I like the bird's intense look and raised foot, implying a serious sense of purpose.
