Sanderling Fight , Round 1

[Joe Senzatimore]

I have seen these birds fight over real estate many times , but only for very short periods. These 2 went at it for a good 60 to 90 seconds , which is a very long time. Must have been a good spot to fight over:2eyes2:.

Hi Joe - Lighting looks good, and love the background. I wish the birds were a bit larger in the frame, and also would like to see more of their eyes.

Joe, good action captured, and the guy at the back looks like he's on top of things with regards to who's the boss. I would maybe take a bit off the top.

Nice interaction captured Joe, I like the way the water goes on a soft diagonal through the image. I wish we could see a bit more of the front of the other bird-but I guess the one is not letting go.:)
