Sanderling

[Dave Leroy]

This was taken in mid morning in slightly over cast light.

I cropped from left, top and bottom.
50D, 500mm, 1/2000, f/5.6, EC+2/3, ISO400.

Cute little guy, and I like the good view of the feet. The whites look good. A lower angle would have been great if possible, and I would crop further at bottom. Although we can't expect mud to be "clean" I would still get rid of the object below the bird, and the black one at right edge.

I do not mind the dark patch. Here is my suggested crop. :)

ps: Like the sharpness and the pose.

Thanks Daniel and Artie.
Artie thanks for repost. It looks much better without dead space at bottom.
Not quite the weather for laying flat yet Daniel. I am looking forward to it though. One day.

YAW Dave. I am glad that you liked it. Maybe Dan will like the dark thing better now. And a bit more off the top would be an option too.
