I was trying to get shots of just the foreground bird, expecting to crop in a decent amount, and one of his thousand or so friends on the beach did the wind-up-toy sprint right past the camera. Good grief are these little guys impossible to photograph standing still! From Nickerson Beach, NY.

I really like this. The guy in the background almost steals the show, but the target bird is excellent standalone.

The bird in the background makes this one.
Nice high key look, Jake. I'd still like to see a touch more detail in those white highlights on the foreground bird though while retaining the overall look. The rest looks great: yes, I do like the one racing past in the background too. Nicely composed with good balance between the two birds.
