Very nice.

My only nit would be for a lower shooting angle in the first and maybe a bit less centered of a composition in the second.

All the best.

nice photos, i actually like the first one with the reflection just the way it is.
just out of curiousity, how did you determine it was a greater yellowlegs?
i can never tell the difference.

Fuuny enough, on my flickr account the photo is listed as a Lesser... I was supposed to write it as a Lesser here too, putting as a greater was a mistake.

Ill edit the post and change it.
