Another Oystercatcher

[Bob Blanchard]

I know we've been posting these guys to death for the past couple weeks, but hey, you take what nature gives you! For some reason they weren't letting me as close as I wanted, so I dropped the 2x on and got to work. Captured at Little Estero on Saturday.

Nice pose Bob! I like the lower angle. It needs a slight CW rotation. There doesn't seem to be a lot of detail due to the 2x and looks a tad soft. Maybe another round of sharpening?

I like it a lot Bob !! Can't get tired of OCs !!!

I think if you increase contrast a tad the image might appear with more detail. I like the pose and bg a lot !!! Excellent !!!

Great angle and pose. I agree with Jody regarding rotation and sharpening.

Thanks all,

Will give it some punch, a tad of CW rotation, and sharpen it tonight and repost. Thanks!
