Whimbrel in motion

:S3:

Created late in 2011 on the beach at Totuguero, NE CR
One of two individuals hanging around the shoreline on a thundery humid day.
I was able to lie on the sand and captured this as he ran past.

pretty much ff, 7D 100-400 1/320 F 5.6 eV +1.67 INTO LIT C/SKY ISO 400
close at base

Nice capture. The shot is sharp. I kind of like the motion blur on the feet, giving a sense of movements. Ideally, it would be nice to have more room around the bird. What was the focal length?

I like your super low POV.
Do you have a bit more canvas at the bottom? I find it a bit tight by the feet.
Nice clean beach and BG as well.
A bit too much motion blur for my taste but I like the flying bits of sand trailing behind the bird.
I might also do a slight bit of CCW rotation,
All in all a very nice shot,
Gail

Beautiful shot. Lovely light, eye contact and low angle here.

Beautiful running pose captured.I like the pose with raised foot along with sand particles,colors,details and composition.

Excellent sharpness and low shooting angle, Richard. I feel like it is kind of squeezed from the top and bottom. More room would be needed.

Ta

Think I will add some to top and bottom; I have a fair few frames from that day too so will probably post another later
thanks for posting

The blurred feet/legs are different than the norm and I like it, especially seeing as the rest of the bird is nicely sharp, lovely mottling in the plumage ....he/she looks to be " Moon Walking " = Michael Jackson eat your heart out lol lol
