Ft.Desoto, June. This guy was very accomodating...as turnstones often are. Up here the only time we see them close enough for photography is during the fall migration when they have lost their breeding plumage, or as juveniles. Even then it's only 1 or 2 individuals for the year. I was thrilled to be able to add adult breeding plumaged individuals to my files :-)
Hi Daniel I like the action here a lot. Great low angle and comp. In this image I think that a lower shutter speed would produce a great motion sensation... yes it is easy to say that now but very difficult to predict that in the field when you are shooting. Very good job
Love the COMP, the sharpness, the seaweed, the angled pose, and the ruffle. The light-colored rock in the llc balances the white at the end of the seaweed. You could not have done better.
