Hi,

Took a trip to photograph the Brent Geese that are present on the north Kent coast each year, once again not particularly succesful for the geese, as they disappeared into the distance I noticed two Sanderlings foraging right in front of me....

A bit tight in the frame for my taste but....

Ian will know why I am excited that this is AF...

All the best

Very nice indeed. Nice catchlight and wel exposed. Pleasing background. It looks very natural. I'm not sure about the OOF ....?.... in the foreground.

Well done Phil.

Lovely Picture, well exposed (white is not always easy) and nice light too.
I think that it is a shame that there is that stone on the bottom left corner of the picture,it is a bit distracting,
All the best.

Nice exposure and comp Phil :toast:

I agree with Tristan over the OoF rock but it's not too distracting :wink:

Lovely image of the Sanderling - the foregroaund rock works compositionally really well, but is just a tad distracting being oof - nothing to be done about this though and overall it's a really good image.
