Another Sanderling

Hi All,

This is another Sanderling image that I took on my trip to Titchwell this week.

Techs: Nikon D2X, 200-400MM VR, 1.7tc, 1/1500thsec @F7.1

Thanks to everybody who replied to my last topic.

C and C welcome.

Hi Chris

I really do love the graphic impact of this shot, There is (to me anyway) something a wee bit off putting about the crossed legs - although it does give an impression of movement. v. minor nit, however, on a fantastic shot.

Cheers

Very nice shot

A nice idea but for me it is not quite working, I'm not sure about the central placement of the bird and the pose seems to be slightly awkward, typical I know but still seems slightly awkward, particularly as there is no eye detail visible (may be due to the size...) also the horizon looks like it needs a slight CW rotation.

But certainly an interesting compositional idea ...

All the best

Phil

Hello Chris
Good effort on a sometimes difficult bird to capture. I dont have to tell you how quick they can be.
I do feel however that there is an awful lot of space around the bird and no catchlight in the eye.

Hi Chris I like the idea and the comp., my only issue is with sharpness, it's a bit softie!

Hi Chris

Super shot, great colours and composition although I would prefer the sanderling a bit less central in the frame, I think having the bird a bit lower and losing some of the sand at the bottom would be a stronger composition. Still excellent as is though, nicely seen and taken.



cheers

Hey Chris how long were you down in the mud cos it certainly paid off well worth the effort like this one just as much as the other great stuff
