Giovanni - you captured a great moment and did so wonderfully. The exposure for the two Oystercatchers is dead on! Would you mind sharing if you shot in Manual/Aperture/Shutter and if you had any +- EV? Thanks!
You made sure you had enough SS did you! I like the beach setting and especially the waves. The orange bills pop nicely. Good action. There is a stray sand grain (?) at middle left to remove. I would not sharpen the ground. The subjects look well focussed but the fine detail is not quite there, not sure if it was a compression issue (there are some artefatcs surrounding them suggesting it may be that).
Great timing on this capture, especially with that raised foot and the water spray. Agree with Daniel on the artifacts around the birds which is most likely from compression. I have a feeling you won't see it in a larger version. This happened to me earlier this week and it was quite frustrating.
Loved the moment and the habitat. blacks look great. agree with the artifacts. If you have some more room on top, I might trade that for some room below.
