Buff Breasted Sandpiper (juvenile).

[Shawn Zierman]

It was a very good, albeit short fall migration in my neck of the woods for this species. This image was made a couple of weeks back. This is a juvenile bird. Canon7d, Sigma50/500os, iso800, f8, 1/1000, small crop to level the image, NR to the bg and fg, USM to the subject. Comments and critiques welcome.
Regards,
Shawn Zierman.

What a terrific image.
The light is gorgeous, the IQ excellent, a great shorebird and the walking pose lovely.
You have a great BG as well. Perfect POV.The bird has great fresh plumage as well, which is always a bonus
I know you are not a "cloner" but if this was mine I would clone out the grass between the legs in a heartbeat.
Well done,
Gail

Sweet. Great bird, light, pose, bg, head turn. Got it all. Like Gail, I wouldn't miss that stick. Nicely done, Shawn.

Lovely colors and very nice pose. Sharpness is great too.

Cheers, Tom

I like the walking pose, low angle, IQ, details, composition and sweet light. Excellent image Shawn!

[Jonathan Ashton]

A beautiful image as has been mentioned previously it is all about the light. The pose colours and detail are excellent.

[Grace Scalzo]

Light, Species, Pose, Habitat, Processing, all spot on to my taste. A real beauty of an image.

Hi Shawn, love the warm light in this, and well done on getting low for this angle. You have managed a great pose, and looks like if you had less lens, you may have captured a full clean reflection judging by what we can see of the reflected legs.

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Beautiful warmth to this image, Shawn. IQ is wonderful as well the mid stride and head position.
