Oystercatcher on Final Approach

[Nick Palmieri]

Shot this guy this past spring at Nickerson Beach on Long Island NY. I always thought it was a funny image and thought this theme was the perfect outlet for it. Shot with my 7D, 600mm+1.4, ISO 400, f/6.3, SS 1/2000. Just a fun one...love his legs..

Nick, if anything, well timed for the take off, and good to see the trailing water droplets. I do like the wing position, and good job on the exposure on the head.

[Bill Dix]

Terrific wing position, head angle and water drops. You'd think 1/2000 might have stopped the wings.

Nice landing pose

Great timing and the wing position is just wonderful. Real nice light and the water drops really add to the already great shot. Well done.
