Turnstone feeding
Two weeks ago I spent several hours, photographing Turnstones. This one was feeding along a groyne on the beach.
Nikon D80 @ 500 mm, iso 200, f6,3, 1/400 sec. on a groundpod.

Hi Sandra,

A little central for me but I do like this, great little bit of action caught, with a great PoV.

I agree with Phil, there is too much space behind the bird. What a great piece of action though.

Hi Sandra,

a lovely shot and well caught but could do with a bit more space on the left. :smile:

Fine for me as you have homed into the little bit of action that is going on. The bigger in frame the better as far as I'm concerned. :smile: :wink: An excellent shot.

Works for me Sandra, although I would agree it is a little too central, any more on the lhs? Good colour and the action makes it. Perhaps a tad off the top? :toast:
