Hi Pat, Maybe this fellow is doing a river dance! LOL Love how the bird has it's wings out along with the big step.Did this bird just fly in and land? What ever he's doing it makes for a great picture. Along with the great subject you have excellent focus and lighting. Worthy of six stars in my book! Stay safe and Healthy my friend! :o) Nancy

Perfect title for this picture. I could not help but smile when I saw this image. The only thing that I would think that would wipe away my smile is if I saw a predator behind this lovely bird.

    Thank you so very much for your lovely review! I would hate to see a predator grab this little bird too!

Great capture of the stepping action! You stopped the action perfectly. I also like the position of the wings. Excellent sharpness and exposure. Very nicely done!

Pat this is a great action shot. Very well focused and with great detail.
He appears to be in a big hurry t get some where. I so enjoy viewing your images. Your timing and eye are impeccable.
So well presented and very enjoyable to see.

Great color and lighting in this photo, the detail on the subject is clear and sharp. The scene appears to be well balanced and the reflection on the water helps to add depth to the scene.

Well done!
John

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


For me a fun image to look at brings a smile to my face. The focus is good. The pose is fun, like the bird is walking ever so carefully through the water. Making you wonder why,because it's cold?
A nice stop action image.

Have good day & be safe.
Cheers.

    Thank you so much Lucien, I followed this bird , it flew to the middle of the river, it was low tide, it landed, and immediately started taking these big steps, I think they handle the water temps very well. I as thrilled that I was able to capture the eye!

Hey Pat!
The bird is well presented and captured. If I had any more 6's (darn it) I would have given one to this capture. The details and action of the bird really stand out. Thanks for sharing!
