Another from my hometown. Laying on the beach as I watched this guy walk about the rocks at low tide. Eventually the bird moved closer to me where I managed to capture this image. The BG is seaweed covered rocks. I love these little birds, a pair return every year to nest on the beach.
Hi Will, lovely low angle, and a great HA too. The feather detail shows up nicely, and good detail on those legs. Isn't it great when you are lying down, and a subject walks closer towards you, not aware of your presence.
Really cool perch and a nice BG.I like the post from the bird as well. I don't think I've ever seen this bird before so I could be off, but the whites appear to be a bit greyer than I would expect. Like that we can see both feet pretty clearly. TFS
Perfect pose here. I agree that a looser crop would be better but that may present a problem if you then introduce some ugly rocks or something in the background. Something seems just a tiny bit off with the feathers to me. I can't really place what it is. The legs and feet look perfectly sharp but the feathers don't seem that have the same level of sharpness or depth of color.
