    These flock of Least Sanpidpers got together infront of me while I was photogrpahing a Long-billed Dowticher. I like the image mostly because of the majority of good head angle from the the birds that are in focus.

    I'm thinking doing a bit more of a pano by taking a bit from the top and bottom.

    Lots of interest here and the exposure and sharpness are good. I thought right away that the comp could use tweaked with the bird centered vertically. I tried a browser scroll and eliminating from the top works for me, and I think your pano idea is a good one too.

    This is such an engaging image Raybel. I'm enjoying it as my eyes go from one bird to the next, all those gleaming legs, their poses, those moss covered rocks ...
    Excellent light, sharpness and low shooting angle.

    I am also liking this one the more I look at it, you were lucky that most of the ones that are in focus also have a good HA. I find the one with his head turned away from us a bit distracting and may clone it out. Yes to a pano

    TFS, well done
