Info Known as the Jesus bird as it appears to walk on water. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:24, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Spider toes :-) How can you fly with such a cumbersome pair of legs? Please confess this is your new Photoshop montage following the shrunken headed Bovidae, prankster :-)

But seriously the image seems tilted. The water does not seem horizontal, and a little rotation might improve this impression. The level of detail is not exceptional, but most of the body becomes sharp when downscaled at 3000 px large, which is still an acceptable resolution for a subject taken that far (focal length 560 mm according to the exif). Misplaced, the leaves behind the beak are slightly distracting. However, the wow-factor overcomes these flaws in my opinion, as the light is fine, and the morphology of this bird fascinating enough -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:09, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Basile, was tilted 3 deg. I was in a boat. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:04, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
