Oystercatcher
Hi Guys,

One of my favourite places to shoot waders is "open for business" again! This place has been closed down for road construction for a while but now the waders are returning i am glad it's open again. I fear that they will shut the place down for good soon as they are planning all sorts of things...but no parking-lot on the waters edge i'm afraid... :rolleyes:

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Hi Jeroen,

I really love the pose! Cracking shot!

Glad you can shoot in your favourite spot again! It would be a shame to drive wildlife out all for a car park!

As Paul says cracking shot. Love the pose and well handled on the exposure.

Thanks for sharing

Nice on Joeren. Great detail and colour. He doesn't half look uncomfortable.

Like the pose. Lots of detail and considering the high contrast the exposure is spot on.
