In parallel

Comments appreciated. Two Stilts.

The almost perfect parallel makes this one stand out from the crowd. I really like the diagonal aspect too and the light ripples around thier legs that adds a touch of movement and life.  I wonder if their reflections would have added further to the duo?

Compliments!

Hi Mark! Nice photo, this couple seems to be dancing ...the problem with these type of photos is the DOF...the first bird is very well focused, but the second is problematic...nevertheless it's a good nature scene! Regards.

Outstanding image Mark. I am surprised with the DoF at 420mm, these two look fairly close together. A damn good advert for the D800 though.

Best regards

Gareth.

great shot Mark

Alf  -- Thanks for looking. The reflection of the the Stilts in my opinion did not add too much and changed the composition too much so i cropped it out

 

Joao-  I wanted the second bird to be less focused. 

Thom and Gareth thanks for the comments

Very nice job on these black-necked stilts.  I really like the parallel aspect you featured in your title.  Looks like they could almost be mirrors of each other.  Regards

Hey Mark,

Great shot. I agree with your cropping choice. Perfect IMO. It doesn't look to me like the shadows would really help the pic. Well done.

thanks Kenneth and Phil

Beautiful! great job.
