    This was taken this past week at Fort Desoto. It is always such fun to watch these little beach runners as they scurry along the shorline. They never disappoint you. Oystercatchers are such beautiful birds.

    I really like the muted colors in this one and the foam around his feet.

    You have inspired me to get down to De Hoop to try and capture some more African Oyster Catchers, absolutely marvelous. No actually a lot better than that!!!

    Great soft light, details and reflection. It only needs about 1 degree CCW rotation.

    Hi Judy Lynn,
    The exposure and foam are wonderful. The reflection is what sets this one apart from others for me!
    Love it! Agree that these are fast becoming one of my favorites!

    Superb image Judy lynn.... I love the sea foam breaking around the feet and the line created seperating the bird from the reflection.

    Agree with you about the Oystercatchers. They are beautiful birds. I love your picture Judy. The light is stunning and the soft effects in the water are very nice!
