Shot taken at the Toronto waterfront. Cloned out a piece of twig and cropped to 70% from original. Thank you for looking.

Very nice. I love the erect posture.

Lat, very nice photo. Looks like the point of focus is near the shoulder as the heads looks a tad soft to me.

Fine shot, Lat. USM would sharpen the head a bit. I would have gone for 1/3 less EV. A mild Curves tweak would punch up the image somewhat.

Lat
A very nice yellowlegs shot. Sandy has made the same suggestions that I would have. You have him in a very nice pose and I think there is some good detail to bring out.

Lat,

Pretty nice pose and BG, slight sharpness issue and minor over exposure have been mentioned.

A great shot that could only be better if it had turned its head a bit. Light, comp., erect pose, and detail are nice.

Great image. I love the alert pose.

Great light and shooting to you all!
