Ruddy Turnstone

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

These little birds are quite amusing to watch as they search the shores and look under shells and rocks for food. This was taken on my last trip to Sanibel.

I like the angle, walking pose and soft light. Maybe some selective sharpening of the head?

Judy:

Lovely colors, nice low angle, excellent head turn, nice exposure.

I think the head is just a bit soft, and would hit it again with USM if it will stand it. It looks like there may be a bit of a sharpening halo already, esp along the breast.

He seems to be going just a bit uphill, which gets my attention.

Thanks for sharing!!

Axel and I were typing at the same time again!

Very nice pose in sweet light. Agree on sharpening the center of the face, the outline seems sharp to me. Love that raised foot :)

I like the raised foot and the warm light here Judy, it looks sharp enough to me.

Axel already mentioned what I wanted to say. I love this Judy Lynn. Really nice and simple with a good angle and light. Congrats! :)

Lovely feather detail captured on the little guy, and love the low angle. I like the raised foot to show movement, and agree the colours and light are nice and soft. Great image Judy.
