Another Donna Sanderling....
Taken by a friend on a recent trip with me Donna Nook.

He got some nice Seals but on the day the Sandies were there in abundance and were not shy either, anyway this image leapt to the top of his the process queue.

He was going for the clean and simple look :biggrin: - which I think he's achieved.

Techs
D3
500mm f4 VR Nikkor
400iso
1/2500th @ f4.5
Cropped top & bottom for comp.

Thanks for looking :toast: :toast:

Yes, it works for me.. Super natural history shot and the feeding behavior just makes it that bit more special. Nice work.

Wonderful. Also the non-standard format makes it a topper (I hope this is a correct English word for what I do mean).

This is a lovely image.
The simplicity of the colouration and composition are just perfect.

Clean and simple it is too :toast: I like the comp and the diffuse surroundings and a bit of action too. Great work!

Really like the composition / crop and feeding action, plus the silky setting is something special. Definitely worth some plaudits :smile:

Lovely shot this one and I think the crop works very well. I really like the colours in the wet sand too :toast:

A lovely shot. Clean and simple. I wonder if the image might benefit further from a degree or so of cw rotation to make it perfect?
