Desoto Oyster Catcher

Very skiddish Birds;yet Pure beauty :D
Cloned out some beach twig debris, and one shell. Slight crop.
Would like to thank BPN member Don Lacy for the "Tour" of Fort Desoto Lagoon.

Like the low angle, detail, colours & head angle. Great image!:)

[Daniel Cadieux]

Good standard portrait, and I like the peeking toe. Good job on the beach clean up as I don't see any evidence of work being done there. Not crazy about the harsh light.

Don:

Considering the harsh light (as mentioned by Daniel), you did very well on the exposure.
I do think a slight reverse S curve, and perhaps a bit of recovery slider in ACR,would help tame the high contrast a bit.
Agree about the peekaboo talon:)

Cheers
