Cannot do nothing wrong with Sanderlings :biggrin: . You can see a hint of breeding plumage indeed ! Was the ground not level ? Nice one Rob ! Hans

Like the raised foot pose and eye contact.

"....maybe a touch of cw rotation"

Hi Nate,

It was moving up and down the slope as the swash from the waves came in and out

cheers

Love the belly cam angle. Super detail and the BG is killer. The raised foot is the icing on the cake. :toast:

Looks like you got wet taking this image Rob. Beautiful low angle on this. Almost looks like he going backwards as the lifted foot has a bunch of lifted sand in front of the foot. Beautiful colors and details. As others have pointed out maybe just a little bit of CW rotation. Sweet.
