Snowy Plover

Photographed at Carmel River State Beach, CA, in late November 2008. Does the LLC distract or balance the composition? :confused:

Thanks for looking. JR

Great angle, details and light. I find the plant (?) covering the tail distracting and am wondering if a wider crop would change that.

The sharpness and BG are just great. I agree with Axel, the oof seaweed is distracting.

Would have been great to have crawled a little to your right for a few more frames.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. You're of course both correct re wider crop and moving to the right. In addition, I think I should have taken a bit more from the bottom but allow more space on top. JR
