turnstone

[Hillebrand Breuker]

Last week I found a few turnstones in breeding plumage at Texel. Gorgeous birds and quite rare to see them over here in these colors.

I really like the angle and the light,I would prefer better eye contact

[DanWalters]

Would like to see more of the eye and more of the reflection. Oterwise a very nice image.

Hello,

Lovely details and exposure. I have to agree with Manos regarding eye contact.

[Arthur Morris]

Nice bird, sharp, and good EXP, but the lack of light on the face and little eye contact hurt this image a bit. At what time of day was is made? (The light seems to be from overhead and thus the face and eye are shaded...)

thanks for the responses. I know it could be a bit better. should have used flash, but my batteries died when i saw this one coming (no excuse :-( ). this was photographed 10am. i have some more pictures where i have more light on the eye, but i liked this pose. i do not mind missing the complete reflection though
