Semipalmated Sandpiper

[Joe Senzatimore]

I hope this is the correct ID. At any rate this is from a great AM at Nickerson with Jimmy and Bob. The high tide floods have left huge puddles for the birds to "play" in and give the photogs some wonderful opportunities as well.

Good pose and reflection. The image seems a bit light, and would benefit tremendously from a good boost in contrast. Resetting the black point in Levels by clicking the black eyedropper in the darkest part of the the pupil should work well in this case.

[Aidan Briggs]

Nice low angle, light, and reflection. Not a whole lot of shorebird verticals out there. As Daniel said this image would benefit a on form a contrast boost. I also might crop a slice from the bottom.

I like the composition, head angle and mood in this one and agree regarding a contrast boost. Maybe also a bit more sharpening?

[Ramon M. Casares]

I agree with the comments above, I would also suggest a tad more sharpnening. Nice comp, light and mood though.
Congratulations!
