Hi All,

Another from my Salthouse session with the Dunlin's. This time got one standing still for a second whilst it searched for food.

All comments welcome

Regards

Very nicely done Rob no bright pebbles and the bird has a lovely highlight.

Very nice Rob. Can't fault it.

Nice one but I think I would prefer less room at top and more at the bottom, simply because thats the way the head is pointing...

You certainly got some nice light and cracking pics from that Salthouse excursion!

Hello Rob.

Nice capture and I like the setting with the pebbles and the way he is searching for food.

Excellent composition. Pin sharp and the detail in the white areas is about perfect.

Cracking! You certainly nailed them that day! Nice one!

Looks good to me, but I would agree with PhilH's comment re position in frame
