Solitary Sandpiper

[Tim King]

Took this in August of 2010. The date suggests that it is an adult male.

50D 300mm f4 L IS + 1.4TC ii
ISO 400, f5.6, 1/400
one shot, Manual, slight crop.


Best.

I like the concept of the image with the vertical streaking in the BG and FG. You could tone down the very brightest one at left just so it does not compete for attention as much. Neat colours and reflections. Too bad there was that band of vegetation touching the subject's behind. I'd be tempted to crop a bit more bottom and right...small-in-the-frame birds often look good closer to corners.

Great light and colors. I like the environment too . Perhaps just a bit tighter?

[PhilCook]

Lovely light and colors in this, wonderful sheen on the water.....wouldn't change a thing

Beautiful image with very nice BG and FG creating nice 3D effect to the frame.

Love the environmental feel to this one but would consider going tighter for a more powerful image. I agree with Daniel and would bring your bird closer to the right bottom corner of the frame. Colors very vibrant here!

Beautiful refelecitons and background make a very pleasing photo here. As mentioned a tighter crop could help.
