Sanderling

I sat on the beach and waited for a group of Sanderling to come close to where I was. It's amazing that if you still still they are not spooked at all.

I like the pose. Well timed.

Kim

Well captured image well worth the effort.

The pebbles distract a little but the are naturally occuring so altogether works well.

I agree about the pebbles, but there is not much you can do about them, and the bird itself is excellent.

David

that's nice Kim although is the head perhaps a little soft? I like the composition and particularly the wave in the background.

Matt

Thanks guys, your comments are appreciated, am always a bit wary of sharpening too much Matt- and the pebbles - well I picked this particular shot for those pebbles as I thought they were quite pretty!!!!

I love pebbles, a shame they're not in focus. They make great 3D subjects.

nice one Kim

I love these little birds

Wonderful image, I really like the light and fresh feel to the image and the pose, with his leg makes the image for me Kim

Great Sanderling image Kim, minor nits covered.

Nick.

I think Craig sums this one up nicely with the word "fresh"
It's the first thing I thought when I opened it. Really great light for shooting such a light subject

Excellent .
