Taken early this morning was this Avocet. Singling out just one bird from a flock of hundreds was the task ... :roll:

Beautiful bird. Excellent shot. Looks like a female with the curved bill. :)

Love the raised foot! Nice job isolating a bird from the group - there isn't even a reflection of another bird in the water. I know it can be quite a task sometimes!

A very nice image. I like the pose. Was the day overcast? I wonder how it would look a bit brighter?

Congrats!!!

Nicely monochromatic. It really makes you notice the muddy foot.

What a beautiful image.......I should be so lucky as to have problems "isolating one"......I've been shut out everytime I gone to find an avocet. Excellent!!!

This is very nice KK. I think the monochromatic aspects serve you well here. What a pretty bird!

It has a wonderful peaceful feel to it. Reminds me of ancient oriental artwork. Subtle, quiet, yet majestic.
