Ruddy Turnstone

This was taken in early December at Fort Desoto. Did some minor beach clean up. All C&Cs are welcome and appreciated.

Wonderful image of a turnstone. Beach sprucing-up looks good. Only thing that would make it better would be a breeding plumage individual...but this is a nice clean specimen.

A very attractive image Jim. I also like the clean beach area, nicely shown with the low angle.

I like it but I thought that it might be improved by being a bit brighter and tweaking the colors. I reduced the greens and yellows on this repost. This fits more with the colors that I remember from when I was on Sanibel earlier this month.

Beautiful image Jim. Lovely soft light and nice details on the subject with a good low angle and dreamy bkg/fkg. Love it!

lovely low angle, pose and details

A good solid image of a lovely bird.
I like the low POV and the excellent view of the feet.
I might apply a touch more contrast,

Low angle is great, excellent pose and detail! I like the color balance in Henry's repost.

Lovely portrait of this ruddy, Jim. If you look at your OP, you can barely see the green cast in the sand. Henry did a great job adjusting an already pleasing image.

[Jim Crosswell]

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. Henry repost looks good, thanks.
