Such tiny birds, you did well to capture this one so nicely. The image does have level conflicts with the DOF strip looking like it could do with some CW rotation and the reverse for the horizon.

[Bill Dix]

A very handsome shot. Fine pose (tough to get these guys as they scurry around the beach); lovely light, good detail and exposure. Great low POV. Nicely done.

[Jonathan Ashton]

An unusual image I really like the colours and the pose is really interesting. I like the low angle, it rings my bell!!

[Daniel Cadieux]

I love the pose! Good light and my type of low angle. Some CW rotation may be needed, but might be an illusion by sloping beach?

Hi Chris

some shots are just atmospheric and this is one of them - nice light

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the low angle, light, pose and composition. Very well done Chris.

[Chris Elliott]

Thank you to all who commented. The interested pose is in fact a posturing position, at times with flared wing, taken on as they scurry along the beach during feeding.
