Another one from my weekend at Barnegat Jetty with Artie and Denise.
Canon 5D3
300 II and 2x III
1/1250
f5.6
ISO 400
HH, slight crop for comp, luminosity mask, levels, curves, selective color adjustments, NR on bg, sharpened in CS6.
C&C welcome and appreciated. Thanks,
Rachel
I do like the greens and blues and how they set off the subject and the image is nice and clean. I would like to see the bird a bit more parallel to the sensor in order to bring the tail into focus.

The light is simply beautiful here! I like the pose, the perch and the gorgeous blue bg.
With a 5D3, I would push the iso for more DOF here.
I would crop from below and ease up on the sharpening a tad.
TFS.
Hey Rachel,
Sweeet light and BG. Yeah.....pushing the ISO for a touch more DOF would be nice.....but you got some great blues in the BG which isn't always easy at the Jetty! I agree with a bit less base and the more pano comp really suits the pose! Very nicely done!
Was flash used? I get the impression the subject is a little bright, I would suggest a little off the base and a little more on the top.
Thanks all, I'll take a look at the crop. Jonathan - no flash used.
Thanks again,
Rachel
Nice natural composition, eye looks great and all looks sharp and finely detailed, a little less green rock maybe and I find it a bit bright/slightly over flashed maybe which to me makes it look a little superimposed on the backdrop
I like the exposure, colours and BG. I agree with taking some off the bottom. Well done Rachel!
Lovely capture with super details and sharpness! The colors are all awesome together. The large amount on the bottom I do find a little overpowering so agree on a little off of the bottom.
Rachel:
Magnificent image with great IQ and lovely lights.I like the pose,sharpness,nice green and blues in the BG.
Very nice composition too.

The bird, perch and the blue water all look very nice, Rachel. Love the moss covered rock as a perch. I would put the the bird a little lower in the frame.
Thanks everyone. Here's a repost with some off the bottom.
Rachel
Excellen shot.
Great pose, love the mossy rock, wonderful backgorund, and nice details.
Repost looks a lot better.
Well done.
Hi Rachel, love the light in this, sharp, and you have captured good overall detail. I do like the moss covered rocky 'perch'. With regards to your repost, due to the Turnstone's pose looking slightly downwards, I would maybe have a liitle more room at the bottom than the top.
very nice Rachellove the perch,nice light,sharp,well done.
Thanks Robert, Stuart and Chris.
I think the repost looks better, nicely done, Rachel.
Hi Rachel. I love the blue and green colors, and the turnstone's pose. The repost works better for me. I also felt the bird looked just a bit bright.
Hey Rachel - beautiful turnstone you got there! Your repost is amazing, brilliant colours and sharpness. Love that mossy rock! Once I don't have to walk on it!
Thanks Karl, Bill and Faraaz. Faraaz, I trust you are much warmer in Trinidad than we were on the jetty too!
Oh yeah! The day after I flew back in was spent shirtless in celebration of the warmth of the Caribbean sun!
Very nice. Like the repost better. The colors are beautiful and I like orange feet against the greens. Well done.
