Hi Gail,

This is a wonderfully creative shot! I really like the foam at the water edge.

The composition really works for me, considering the foam moves in on the right side.

This photo has it all. Thanks for sharing such inspiring shots, Gail!

Nice change of pace. Given the way these little ones run, the space seems very appropriate.

Keeping all the foam was a good idea, nice POV and nice IQ.

[Karl Egressy]

Nice low angle shooting, the bird looks good in its breeding plumage and the foam is a good addition to the frame especially on the far right, Gail.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the low angle, foam, IQ, complimentary colors and composition. Excellent image Gail!

[Bill Dix]

I like it. It shows the Sanderling's normal feeding habit and habitat. Always good to try something a bit different.

[William Dickson]

I love the crop. It brings so much life to the bird. The POV perfect. Beautiful colours and light.

Lovely frame Gail

You were lucky to have captured a sanderling that wasn't running! Love the low angle and the sudsy water.

Hi Gail, excellent low shooting angle, and I really like the light in this. Overall well exposed, sharp, and I do like the feeding pose. Your pano crop works well.

[Glenn Conlan]

Your POV really paid off. Nicely done
