lol, he looks like he doesn't like getting his feet wet
The quality looks very good indeed considering the amount of "digital zoom" involved
Well done John.

Hi John
Very nice - great pose and DOF. The later being one of the advantages of not getting too close and cropping in later.

Great pose and composition here, I like the leaf/stem balancing the image vs the sandpiper

HI John - an interesting pose. I find the OOF green patch on the bottom right distracting
Posted by John Robinson on September 28, 2010 at 10:56 AM
Thanks all
Graham - I hadn't noticed it and now I remember it was a very,very,very OOF dock leaf !
I'll sort it later.
Cheers

Hello John.
Cracking pose you have captured there.
Love it.

Crikey ! what a job getting that green out. Also noticed drop shadow wrong and maybe some bunnies.
Any way tried me best.

Nice shot Jon Im glad you left the shrub in on the left it balances the picture up nicely.

Dale is right about the shoot on the left, it balances things nicely. I like the repost very much.

I love the pose and agree about the foliage balancing the image.

Thanks all.
I personally think its one of the lesser quality pics I have posted.
I put it on purely to show somethjing a bit different.
Funny old forum. But then I tend to post natural history pictures not photographic club entries.
Thanks for your interest though. Much appreciated.
