    Default Oyster Catcher Chick Out for a Stroll


    40d, 300/2.8+2x, F/8, 1/800th, ISO200


    From one of the days at Nickerson 2 weeks ago.
    With all the rain and mess thats happening on Long Island NY, I hope the colonies are surviving...

    C&C Please.

    Love the foot position, low angle and the drop on the beak. Nice crop. If anything, the change from gray to blue in the bg is a bit distracting but not a big problem because it is soooo oof. This is really nice.

    Apart from this looking a tiny bit cramped (IMHO this could use a bit more space on top and the right) it is really lovely.

    Love the raised foot, low angle, water droplet on the bill, eye contact, exposure and colours.

    I do not mind the transition from brown to blue going through the head. Excellent shot!

    An excellent photo, as noted above. I agree with Krijn that it would be even stronger with more room on the top and right. I don't mind the blue at the top, but the white in the upper left tends to draw my eye. You might consider toning that down.

    Great details, angle, droplet on the bill and light. I would put the bird a bit further to the left and wish the raised foot were sharp. Maybe ISO 400 would have helped with that. Does it need a bit CW rotation?

    What a beauty. Liked the walking pose, the details in the bird, the BG.
    Agree with Axel on 'wish the raised foot was sharp'...
