Another one, seems these are very approachable.

Excellent image Tim. How close can you get to these? Are you in a hide? Are you dressed as a Sanderling?

Dressed as a Sanderling? No way the kinky thigh length boots are strickly indoors wear! As for lens it's the trusty 800mm so not that close plus its a crop (not quite a Vince crop).

Hi Tim

(not quite a Vince crop)

Well I'm not quite so sure about that!!! :biggrin:

A bit too large within frame for my tastes, but great perspective, detail & light. 3 out of 4 is not bad - could make a good song title. :jump:

Perhaps a tad big in the frame for me - that said still one of the best images of Sanderling I have seen. The lighting, colours and pose are all perfect!

Nice warm light, pose, and detail, but a tad too tight for me, looks to be sloping a touch but that may be me....
