    Tripod, Canon 1DX Canon 500mm f4 & 1.4TC 1 Auto ISO 800 Manual mode + 0.67, another trip to the beach, I arrived an hour or so before high tide and hoped the tide pushed the birds toward me. Whilst of course hoping the dog walkers didn't come too close!

    Hi Jon, another great low angle, and I like the raised foot in this one. Good job on the whites, and I like the colours of the OOF BG.

  3. Thanks Jonathan Ashton thanked for this post

    Lovely image Jon. I like the low angle, the color, detail and exposure look spot on. Over here we call these "Wave Chasers" because they run in and out following the breaking surf. Thank you for sharing.

    I like the raised foot, body angle, sharpness, setting and composition. Well done!

    Looks great! Excellent habitat. I love the leg raised pose of the angled towards us head and body, and the overall colours are quite appealing. I'd only either fill in or crop out the very top blue band, and yes to the small spot John refers to. Very well done Jonathan!
