A little puff in feathers after preening... I would have liked to place the bird to the right however, there was an intersecting rock with a pile of seaweed that would have been not so complimentary.
A super shot, Ann. I love the puffed up look, and the breeding plumage of the Turnstone. He is nicely placed between the seaweed perch and the oof background. I agree with the self-critique, but not much you can do about it. I suppose a crop from the right would reposition him, but would give you an uncomfortable aspect ratio. A fine image as presented.
Great colors and wonderful detail. I would also like to see slightly different placement but it sounds like you did the best with what you had to work with.
Just a great image. You have exceptional light and I like his pose. Very nice feather detail on this beautiful turnstone. Love the seaweed covered rocks.
Hi Ann,
I love this. Beautiful colors that make the image POP. Love the bed of seaweed.
He has great breeding plumage as well.
Tack sharp.
I am OK with comp,
Gail
