**** yes. Lighting and low angle are excellent. So is the eye contact and feather detail. Gotta love white birds on that dark, early morning sand. One of my favorite shots from you.

Beautiful image John do like the overall darkness with the good exposure on the bird makes it pop. TFS

I really like this image John. The low angle, the light, eye contact, feather detail, etc. Great job!

Late afternoon sand :) DATPCA. It would be hard to imagine a better image of a breeding plumage Sanderling. You need some good field skills to get close to them on an open beach.

with love, artie

ps: great low perspective and just high enough for a view of the feet.

Fantastic low angle shot, great pic and eye contact. Well done

Great angle John, eye contact and sand on the beak is really nice.

Hi John .... personally I think since your move to the 1Dx , you are posting some really nice stuff !!!

And this is no exception , lovely low POV , framing spot on and a overall nice tone and color palette . Might try to burn the really bright breast a tiny :w3 bit .

TFS Andreas

Beautiful image of this Sanderling. Quite a clean beach. Good stuff!

John, mega low and that is the winning aspect here. I agree that you capture stunning detail with that rig.

I love the subtle striations in the FG and BKG and sweet HA. A touch more parallel to capture the tail would have been a treat but I'd love this one in my files!

Excellent image. Beautiful capture.

Well done John...Love the contrast....Great POV..Details and colours look spot on...Nice work
