Dunlin and Western Sandpiper

[Dave Leroy]

This was taken about three weeks ago in Boundary Bay, BC. As you can see the morning tide is running out. 50D, 400mm/5.6 at f/8, 1/750, ISO 400, EC+1. Head angle is not the greatest, however as the dunlin is feeding I thought it may be acceptable.

Dave, lovely low angle, and I like the light in this.The front sandpiper is nice and sharp. Comp wise, I would crop just below the reflection, take a bit off the top and right, and lose the OOF sandpiper.

[Chris Kotze]

Great angle well captured and good detail. Ditto Stu on comp and would also remove the second bird as it's OOF

[Steve Maxson]

I like the light, the calm water, and the reflections, Dave. I would suggest cropping off the bottom for more of a pano look and (just to be different) I would leave in the second bird. :) There appears to be a sharpening halo around parts of the dunlin.

Thanks for comments guys. I kind of like that second bird. The pano crop would help get rid of dead space for sure. Thanks Steve for pointing out the halo. It's a problem I have.
