Sanderling at Ocean Shores, WA
I wish this image would show the worm it is about to swallow. Taken last year during their migration up north.
7D, 420mm @ f/5.6, 1/4000, ISO 400, HH laying on the sand early in the AM.
comments and suggestions welcome.

Beautiful light and beautiful breeding plumage. When I see them they are all gray.

I also think the crop is fine. Great light and perspective. Maybe clone out some of those water droplets?

Beautiful low angle and warm light. I like the body angle/pose, as well as the droplets of water/mud suspended in the air. Consider Western Sandpiper for the ID.... :)

Wow, quite a wonderful image! Love the low angle perspective, and the light and colours are so rich. I too could see a bit more room at right, but man, everything else just rocks!

Beautiful low angle, light and colors. Love the plumage on this beauty. Agree with suggested comp tweak, but that always comes down to personal preferences.

Hi Enrique, sweet light and getting wet in the sand has paid off to achieve this excellent low angle. I like the detail and colours, and the droplets make up for the non showing of the worm.

Awesome POV and the light is to die for!
I am not sure this is a sanderling.
Love the water drops,

I agree with Tim on the ID & this is an adult in breeding plumage.
It is worth bearing in mind that Sanderling do not have hind toes.
