This sanderling pulled out a narrow worm, he must be on a diet. :)

Very nice Axel, the image is full of detail and light is nice and soft. BG looks great also.

If this image was mine I would try to add some detail in the bright spot in the white. Otherwise I like it as is.

Love the feeding behavior. Maybe it's just my monitor but it looks a little too contrasty.

You've captured a wonderful moment with the worm being pulled from the sand. Excellent pose and framing. Lovely.

well done Axel, a bit contrasty, but that is as sharp as anything I have seen of this species, well done.

I agree with Robert, and am struggling with an image of mine that has this same issue. I seem to have this issue when shooting in great light. COuld you give some suggestions on how to correct? As for the sanderling image here, nice feeding behavior, Axel.

Beautifully captured Axel with wonderful pose , lighting and BG. The worm is a great bonus as is the low angle. Fine image !!!

Very nice Axel, great feeding behaviour! I'm trying to figure out the blue spot on the bill? Great low angle.

Thanks, Daniel! The bill is not fully closed.
