Again...........I was working flight when this beach encounter took place.

    Great low angle Roman and wonderful color and detail. Love the action and slight head turn in this image.

    Hey Roman,
    Beautiful image, the shell and water drop are very nice. The red on the bill looks oversaturated and there is a halo around the head.
    Thank you for your help on the landscaping forum.

    Great moment captured. I also like the details and angle. I wish for a better head angle, the bill looks oversaturated and I see the mentioned sharpening halo around the head and also the pupil (the lighter yellow).

    I really like this image, too!! I think it is even better than the earlier one! Nicely done! As I read through the posts, I was really pleased that there weren't a lot of comments about the head angle, but one did show up at the end. IMHO, there is Absolutely Nothing Wrong with the HEAD ANGLE!!! The shell and the water drops put this one over the top! Also, I'm not sure that it is a sharpening halo around the head. I think it is an optical illusion--the mach band effect.

    You and Judy are killing me with this Oystercatcher pictures, I don't have a decent pic of this species. I am tempted to a trip to FL west coast just to get a chance to photograph this species.

    I too think it's an excellent image Roman... But I too can see the halo... Fine white (or light) edge around the black of the head and neck and a little bit around the lower bill... the red bill is looking over saturated to me as well.

    Having said that... I wish I had an image like this on my drive.

    Wonder if looking at this on an LCD vs CRT makes a difference??? I have a NEC Diamondtron CRT.
