Here's one from last spring's migration on the Texas coast, looking forward to getting out soon and photographing this year's. Taken at Port Aransas, TX during our migration workshop last spring. Charlie VanTassel was one of the participants.

You are on a roll what with this and the battling anoles. Back-to-back exceptional images.

Lovely, Nate. The low angle really paid off on this one. I love the reflections here.

Very nice Nate! I really like the point of view on this one and the soft color and water make this a wonderful image. Someday it'll be warm enough for me to get down on my belly also...

I would love to get this low for an image. I just need someone to go with me to get me back up! frown

The larger version is exquisite. Couldn't be any better.

Awesome Photo Nate!!! I really like your low perspective and the supporting color pallet surrounding the sandpiper.

Wow! The lower angles always pay off! I love the "creaminess" of everything around him, as it helps him stand out more while looking very pleasing to the eye. Just a stunner, Nate.

Couldn't ask for a better image, Nate. Colors, comp, clean BG and low angle are all near perfection. My friend Mia McPherson would totally agree with the "on the stomach" approach. devil
