Pied Oystercatcher

[Paul Burdett]

Managed to get low down as this Oystercatcher was on the move. Basic adjustments in acr and photoshop only.

D500/500PF, 1/2000th sec@f8, iso800, manual mode HH. Thanks as always for looking and feedback. Cheers.

Paul, man I like this one a lot!

From my view, very nicely exposed. Fantastic pop of orange color. and very nice detail. Sweet striding pose with slight foot lift and strong composition.

I would make a case for slight CCW rotation. But otherwise, hard to nit, well done!

The blacks look deep and rich, I like it. Neat walking stride, and great low angle. Yes to a bit of CCW rotation, judging by the slight slope of the ground.

Love the raised foot, the exposure looks terrific and like the low POV! Yes on the slight CCW rotation.

Nice walking pose and low angle. The red legs and eye are quite different than the ones here.

[Paul Burdett]

Thank you John and all. Here's a corrected rotation...hopefully better?

Tebrikler Paul.


bakış açısı ve kuş türleri benim için çok güzel. Arka plan mükemmel.
Işık ve detaylar hakkında söylemek istediğim;
Siyah detay da beni tatmin etmiyor. ışık biraz sert. bu benim görüşüm. Yine de fotoğraf çok güzel. örnek olarak ama benim için daha iyi olabilirdi :)

Volkan: Looks very good in the blacks now...tank you.
