[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Greenshank Tringa nebularia is a wader in the large family Scolopacidae, the typical waders. Its closest relative is the Greater Yellowlegs, together with which and the Spotted Redshank it forms a close-knit group.
Greenshanks are brown in breeding plumage, and grey-brown in winter. They have long greenish legs and a long bill with a grey base. They show a white wedge on the back in flight. They are somewhat larger than the related Common Redshank. The alarm call is a loud trisyllabic whistle.

Like most waders, they feed on small invertebrates, but will also take small fish.

Hello Mehmet,
The second beautiful photo of a Greenshank today. Fantastic clear colours and very sharp. Splendid light on the bird contrasting against the dark water. Very good POV and composition.
Have a great weekend,
Peter

Torosların en yükseğinden; Aladağların eteğinden merhabalar Mehmet bey. malum buralardayken, netten de TNden de uzak kalıyoruz. ancak görebildim bu harika çekimi. zamanlama çok güzel. netlik ve kompozisyon yanında, model, fon, su zerrecikleri, hepsi çok çok güzel olmuş. eline sağlık dostum. sağlıcakla kal, selamlar.

Mehmet: A real "professional" image of a feeding greenshank, with good lighting and perspective and excellent sharpness. Inclusion of the full reflection would have been nice, but I guess you were "focussed" on the bird at the time.
Regards, Nigel.

Good image, Mehmet.
1/500 is short enough, I guess. For example the water droplets are sharp.
It's a good photo with some action. Nice light. Low point of view works very well with most waders. Finally a good compo.
