First half-decent flight frame of this species for me! I'd love to see a bit more of that far wing, but I'm pretty stoked with this result regardless.

You should be stoked! The bird is great, the wave takes it over the top....
This is contest material.

Very cool, Dorian. I like the hint of the far wing, and what timing with the wave beneath.

looking good, I like the top wing details and the deep blues, the small wake adds more depth to this image. well done

[Arthur Morris]

Killer near-wing detail. The stripe of dark water behind and in front of the bird's head was bad luck.

with love, artie

Dorian great shot. Agree with the wake adds greatly. My preference would to lighten the water some. Very hard subject to capture. TFS

Dorian:

Very dynamic, the wave adds immensely, full down stroke on wing good. Yes, in perfect world, a bit more angle towards us would have shown more of the rear wing.

Nice job

Really nice, the detail is amazing and love the wave underneath the bird.

Stoked you are for sure! Keep at it, this is looking very good Dorian!

[Tim Foltz]

Dorian, nice inflight of this little shorebird, I really like the in focus wave below its wingtip. Nice details and colors.

A stoker for sure. Great flight pose, nicely exposed. Tough bird to get in flight. The wave beneath puts it over the top.

[John Mack]

Looks great. Like how you caught the bird just above the water. Details look nice.
