American Oystercatcher

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Haven't had a chance to get out and photograph in quite a while.
Went dumpster diving and processed this one from a couple years ago.
Nickerson beach, Long Island.

Canon 1D4, 700mm
1/1600, ISO 800
Manual, HH

All input appreciated.
Thanks.

Can't add much that hasn't already been said - the light and pose are spot on, and the BG just finishes it of perfectly
