Ballet on the beach
I've not managed to get out with the camera for a while, but did manage a few days in Norfolk last week. Not the best trip I've had up there, but this rather obliging redshank did perform its stretching routine for me !

Lovely capture and the colours and light are wonderful :wink: :wink: :wavey:

Very nice indeed, maybe a lower POV would have been desirable, but good action, tones and colour etc.

Nicely caught Dave. I think I'd clone out the couple of bits of sand along the top edge and tone down that bright pebble to the right of the birds beak. That said it is still a fine image.

Thanks for the comments. That pebble indeed needs attention and toning down somewhat -thanks! I was working from the car as the tide was going down, so the pov got progressively worse over the time I was there!

Very nicely caught Dave,

no nits apart from the lower POV which as already been mentioned :smile:
