Fledgling Spotted Sandpiper. Captured with a shoulder stock mounted Nikon D200, 80-400mm VR at 400mm, 1/1600sec, f8, ISO 400, manual exp, fill flash with Nikon SB800 -2.0, high speed sync mode. PP with CS3.
Very cute little guy. I like the raised wings and walking pose. You could put him a bit further to the right in the frame. BTW, I find the white drop shadow in your signature a bit distracting.
Adorable little critter, you really got him early. Good deetail and sharpness, great EXP too. I see a lower angle would have been very wet :) but it would have gotten rid of the messy BG. Agree with Axel's comments.
