Green sandpiper

It has been a good year for sandpipers at my local spot, with common and green in particular being very co-operative and taking it in turns to sit right in front of the hide. This is from a recent afternoon session when the sun was just starting to dip noticeably.

Thanks for looking.

Nice eye contact, David and good crisp shot of the Sandpiper. I like that you have the complete reflection.

Have you considered the idea of adding a bit of canvas to the left so that you can complete the clipped circle of water surrounding the bird?

Regards,

Carol

Nice one David, a bird that is high on my list, but as of yet I've failed to bag one. No nits from me.

The late light has a really serene effect on the image David. Definitely best viewed large to get the effect :toast:
