Purple Sandpiper stepping out

[Grace Scalzo]

Trying to find the keepers amoung the frames that I shot a month ago and this one appeals to me so am sharing it to hear your opinions/suggestions.

Nicely separated from the BG grace and good IQ- foot raised a bonus.
Nice one.

i like this one Grace, the wetness of the rock, raised foot, and the uncluttered BG. Very pretty colors on the sandpiper, plump, and sharp!

[Lorant Voros]

Now, this one is for my liking for sure. Love the beautiful specimen with the raised foot, super nice details in the plumage and here I find the rock very well complementing the bird...foreground and background alike with the textures and lines. Hat's off, Grace. This is a winner for me.

I like the walking pose, body angle, IQ, details, rock perch and BG. This is my favorite in your series of this bird. Excellent image Grace!

[Jonathan Ashton]

Very nice indeed Grace, love the pose and the techs are excellent. These little devils have eluded me every time I have been to the coast, I will just have to get one soon!
