    I made this image in Lincoln Beach, UT.
    Ground was full of junk and I was on the groud holding my Lens with one hand.
    I forgot my ground pod so I found two rocks and kept one under the lens hood and one Lens foot.
    Tide came in the ground was full of water and this bird came and landed in the water. I took couple of shots before he flew away.

    Great POV, beautiful light and nice pose and position.
    I would be tempted to clone out all or part of the small mountain of mud to the left of the bird,

    Another beauty. Great light and exposure looks spot on. Good pose and POV.

    Gorgeous frame Krishna. Sublime light and wonderful gradient transition in the bkg. Sweet pov.

    The lump is slightly distracting especially considering the reference to the size of the Sandpiper. But a keeper nonetheless.

    Well done!

    Great low angle, I'm fine with the lump, sometimes removing everything makes it too sterile, I've done it myself and put them back!

    Now that is a low angle. A nice shorebird setting as well. Framing is dead on. What's not to like here.
