These oystercatchers were constantly moving side by side, but eventually their paths seemed to part after all ...

Certainly well exposed Sandra and I do like the slightly OoF bird in the background.
I'd like to see it with some more space on the left and perhaps a little off the top and bottom as I think there's a bit too much OoF sand and for me it adds nothing.
That's just me though so take no notice
Nice idea well exposed

Hi Sandra, nice capture and I am sure someone can think up a story for this picture.

Hi Sandra,
This is a nice image and one with a story. Excellent depth of field to keep the front bird fully in focus. I would crop some off the bottom certainly and either the left and or right to move the lead bird away from the centre of the image.
Cheers
Austin

Hi Sandra,
Humorous and entertaining waders in IMO! Superb exposure!
Fine picture. May be you could place the sharp bird a little more off-centre so both bird have equal space to walk into. The effect created with one bird sharp and the other OoF looks great.
