Sanderling at the edge
An early morning Sanderling ( at least I think it is a Sanderling ) at the edge of the ocean. 1/2000, f6.3, auto ISO 500, 500 f4 E + 1.4III, D500, Skimmer pod.

John:
Excellent POV, lifted foot, head angle, catchlight. Really like the hint of blue in the background, adds context to the 'story'.
Sharp and well exposed.
Cheers

Yes, it is a sanderling.
Nice walking pose and great HA. Not easy to get with this little runners.
Agree with Randy that the blue in RUC really adds a lot to the image.
Whites are a bit hot on the cheek. I wonder if you can get a bit of detail back in PP. Not a big deal though.

Looking good John. I like the pose, detail and HA. Lovely BG blending with the FG sets this one off nicely.

Nice low angle. Good head turn on the bird. Detail looks good.

I love em both. With the sun from behind the bird the perfect head turn towards you was critical. Well done. Not only is it a Sanderling it is a young one just starting to molt to first winter plumage ... You might consider losing the white circle behind the rear leg.
with love, artie
