Spent a beautiful afternoon photographing Turnstones and Purple Sandpipers when this Greenshank flew close by. 1d2n Sigma 500

Nice action and i love the waves but from the laptop it looks like the highlights are blown a bit, still very nice

I really like this, waterfall and comp sets the image off for me!

I can't see any evidence of blown highlights from here, plumage looks about spot on for exposure.

I like how the angle works for the image, makes a little bit more dynamic. A sense of rushing seas and the natural world comes to mind.

Good one ! When they move they move !
The highlights are a little eye grabbing but no big deal.

Exposure looks great to me. Greenshank are one of my favourite birds, and you've done them justice!
