Godwit in crashing surf

[Aidan Briggs]

Had good luck with the godwits on the beach this morning. I hope the BG isn't to distracting.

I like the walking pose and wave and would sharpen a bit more and increase contrast a few points.

[James Salywoda]

I like the stepping action and the white wash wave hitting the Godwit I think you should darken the midtones and give this nice shot a touch more sharpening....

[Ramon M. Casares]

Agree with the above comments, but I wolud only give some more USM to the bird and not to the water, I also agree about darkening the mistones a bit. Congratulatons on a very nice shot with great action.

[Arthur Morris]

Like the wave and the raised foot. As noted several times above, the mid-tones need to be darker.

[Bonnie Block]

Very nice capture--love the action in this one. Nits have been mentioned--

[Mike Lentz]

Its a classic shorebird photo taken in its element. I agree with the sharpening comment.
