Very nice image, Geir.
Love the pose and low angle.

Geir:

Great to see you back!

Excellent shooting angle with great subject isolation. Sharp, well exposed.

Might try to tease a bit more out of the catchlight.

Cheers

So glad to see you back here, Geir! Wonderful low angle, great exposure, and your comp looks good. Sweet portrait.

Very good to see you back Geir! I have missed your contributions. The sanderling is well exposed, sharp, I like the sand on the bill. I like the color tone of the fg and bg. Like Randy I would like to see a little more catchlight in the eye.

I thouroughly enjoy the image, particularly the molt stage of the bird's plumage....legs are spaced nicely, and I don't even mind not seeing the feet here, I think because of the visually interesting weed debris. I think you could lighten the catchlight with some good effect yielded here.
It is good to see your shorebird images on this site again!

Absolutely super love the exposure and the surroundings compliment the bird well. Just looking at the sand was it inclined - does it need a little CW rotation?????
