Bully on the Beach

[Joe Senzatimore]

This Sanderling,(thanks for the ID help Lloyd), would not allow any other bird near it's feeding territory. It seemed to expend more energy chasing off other birds then it did feeding.

Hi the light is a bit hard but it is still a nice image.

Joe, you handled the side lighting well, love the low shooting angle and the ruffled feathers!

[Marina Scarr]

Great attitude on the bird and good low angle on your part. Just wish for better light.

[Robert Holguin]

Very nice shot.
Love the ruffled feathers, terrific shooting angle, and great comp.
Well done.

[Bill Dix]

Great behavior; love the ruffled look. And the low POV. Lighting already noted. I wonder if a touch of s/h tool might help mitigate it?

[Daniel Cadieux]

The harshness of the light is the biggest issue here. Nice pose, it really does look like an aggressive fella! Nice clean beach with just enough "bumps" to make it interesting.
