Western Sandpiper
Bolivar Flats Sanctuary
Upper Texas Coast

Visited with this little guy in the mud at Bolivar Flats on the Texas coast, yesterday. I picked this particular shot because it felt very balanced to me. I wish for a clearer reflection, I take what I'm given and try to make the best of it.

Canon 1D MkIIN; 500mm f/4 + 1.4x TC
ISO 200
Aperture priority =/-0 for 1/1000 @ f/7.1
