Sanderling

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Captured this image early morning at Nickerson Beach a couple of weeks ago as the two Sanderlings raced for this not so lucky sand crab. C&C welcome.

D500, Nikon 500mm f/4G + 1.4 TC, 1/2500s, f 5.6, ISO 2500, Gitzo, Wimberly Gimbal head.

I like the setting, action, and composition with the breaking wave. Good crop as well. I do wish the second sanderling was more in focus, but understand that you were pushing the techs as is here. I think if the in focus sanderling was at a better light angle that would have helped. Super clean beach and I like the pray item. TFS

I like the way you have captured the moment. This image gave me all the memories of watching sanderlings and for that I thank you.

Thanks for sharing.
