Dancing Sanderling

[Jan Wegener]

one from a few days back, while testing my new camera :)
Not sure was he was actually doing, looks like a wing stretch with the wrong leg up :D Or maybe a double sided wing stretch ? :D

Very nice image, great pose, HA, love the reflection, I'd try bit different
crop with the bird more in the corner. Congratulations on a very pleasing image!

Love the low angle, the great light, and the calm water Jan. The raised foot and eye contact are also very nice. I might crop a sliver off of the right.

[Daniel Cadieux]

I like the unusual pose, and the calm waters look pretty darn good. Lovely mood to the image. Although the exposure is perfect I would probably reduce the contrast a bit as the lightest whites and darkest blacks are both pushing their respective limits. I would have preferred a crop to about half the reflection (and then a bit at sides to retain the aspect ratio) - if this is FF then the details should hold up quite nicely.

[Ramon M. Casares]

I would only suggest to blur the ULC, the rest I like it, although it could pass as a injured bird, specielly because if the leg issue :)
Nice indeed, light, colors, comp, detail and BG are very nice.
Congratulaitons!
