Another view of what I believe to be a worn adult(?). Anyhow, it was great to get the down-in-the-mud belly-crawling neck-breaking low angle shorebird-chasing season to a start!:t3
Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/320s., f/5.6, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, FF, minor beach clean-up (a couple of distracting specks spot-tooled out), darkened pupil and lightened iris.

The bird is excellent and I like the greenery he is standing on. I think that if you toned down the dark blobs in the left oof fg my eye would not be so easily drawn there.

Daniel,
Another great image. I really like how you are able to introduce some green into each one. In FL the small shorebirds were always found on the sandy beach, with little to no green around.
Just the right height to get that pleasing bg and still see the feet. Wonderful!

Awesome ultra low angle and the head and particularly the body angle on the subject is top notch. I would not change a thing on this one. Prefer it to the previous image of this species, primarily due to the absence of the oof orangish circle. Of course it's a worn adult...what else would it be at this time of the year?... and juvies look way fresher than this around this time too. Your eye detail/processing looks really good here.

Love the low POV and pose. You've become the master at finding a little bit of green for these shots.
