Semipalmated Plover in the Surf

[chad anderson]

BPN'ers,

This was taken at Ft. Desoto awhile back and I haven't posted any birds recently, so I figured I'd post one. The background is of course, OOF surf. Yes, I did boost the bgrd color on it a bit, but for the most part I just empahsized the natural soft colors that exsisted for effect. Digital capture @ 420mm, it is about 85% of the full frame.

Hi Chad,

Nice to see you posting again. The main problem I see the "green" line around the legs. There is also a green spot on top of the head. I also wish for more sharpening. However, the low angle is fantastic

Keep them coming!

The different color around around the left leg appears on the original, I guess its a reflection from the surf. If you look it has a circular shape. You are right about the one on the head, you have a good eye!

I was hoping you'd finish the rest of editing up for me Maxis :)

Hi Chad,

What is it??

I like it a lot Chad Its all about feel and this one has it !!! The areas pointed out by Maxis should be easy to fix and would also brighten the bird just a tad !!! Excellent !!!

Great angle and pose. There seem to be some clone marks around the legs and I agree regarding sharpening the bird more.

There is something very strange going on near the legs but I have no clue. Otherwise love the bird and the light and the perspective.

[chad anderson]

thanks, not sure but I will continue to tinker around with it.

not sure about the odd tones around the legs.. easily fixed, but a fantastic shot.
