Nice idea...would have been better to get a frontal shot..I tried to capture these at Aransas last year though and understand why you get lots of shots of that facing the other way. I'm glad you used the Nat'l Geographic border...I thought more would.
Nice picture (not sure what the bird is). Unsure if this was a grabbed or planned shot. If it was planned, if you could have got the camera a little closer to the ground, not so much of it would have been lost in the mud/grass or going to the other exteme - moving higher to show how well camoflaged it is!.
Nice NG-style border! However, everything that is not sky seems to have the same tone. The details of the ground seem to attract too much attention away from the bird. Also the bird seems to lack focus. Good effort, however.
I love these birds. They are very difficult to take a pic of. I have dozens of shots of Sandhill Cranes and Blue Herrons... very few from the front view. They always walk away... don't fly unless go get too close.
