    Default Migrating Sanderling in Antelope Island

    Hi All,

    I made this image at Sunset on Antelope Island, UT last Saturday.

    I saw almost 15-20 Sanderlings which are resting on a concrete structure near the causeway. I wanted to get a silhouette of the birds, but by the time I got close to them, they all took off but this little one stayed for few minutes allowing me to take this image.

    I like the sunset reflections on the water

    Let me know your thoughts and comments.

    Very nice image, with the nice colors reflecting, looks peaceful. If it were mine, I would move the bird and rocks to the left side, and crop some off the top.

    A very pleasing image. Has a nice and calm mood to it with great colors. This is just how a small in the frame subject can be a great image. When you have natural and beautiful colors and surroundings. I agree with cropping some off the top to where Jonathan suggested. Also think the bird and rocks would be better on the left side of the image. I would also give the image a little clockwise rotation as well.

    I like the feel of the image. I agree with others that the bird and rocks would be better on the left side. Thank you for sharing.

    Hi All,

    Thank you for the comments and Feedback.

    Reposting the image - Cropping and turning the image clockwise just a little.

    Well seen and executed. Love the small in the frame. Try flipping it so the bird is looking into the larger part of the scene.

    Thank you everyone for the comments and critiques.

    I agree if the bird was looking to the left it would have a been a better image. I only took 3 shots before it flew away. I wish it had stayed and faced the other direction.

    I did not wish to change the scene by flipping the bird.

    This is very nice, almost painterly. Upclose is not always better and your image is proof of that!

  10. Thanks Krishna Prasad kotti thanked for this post
