A Pair of Sanderlings Foraging For Food.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Some Sanderlings hard at work cleaning up the beach of invertebrates. I was obviously concentrating on the front bird when the far one photobombed the frame in just the right place to permit the creation a near-perfect juxtaposition image.

Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/2500s., f/5.6, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, slight rotation then crop for composition (the bend of the leg was clipped, so I purposefully cut it more solidly), minor sand clean-up via spot removal.

Very nice indeed...Perfect POV...the OOF bird adds depth...The main subject is perfectly detailed. Love how the sand is being lifted by the bill..

Sweet juxtaposition and framing. Not to mention the light and details. TFS

Sweet Dan, terrific composition, artistic and specs are spot on.

This works great with the juxtaposition between the two birds. Nice low angle,framing and light here.
