    Another one from the beach two days back. This one is still molting out of its breeding plumage.

    Nice image. I like the head angle and the ruffled/wind blown feathers. The exposure looks good as I see good details throughout. Overall a pleasing image. Thanks for sharing.

    Excellent shot Aidan the light bg really makes this Black Turnstone pop off the screen nicely.

    I like the angle, perch and eye contact. It could go a tad darker for my taste, maybe a slight midtone adjustment to 0.9 or so?

    Thanks all for the comments, Axel, now that you mention it, it does look a tad bright.

    I like this image, nice bird, all ruffled up, and the high key BG goes very well here.

    Hey Aidan, you are making me want to go and visit the coast again. This is pin sharp, and the feather detail in this, is incredible. Super pose and HA, and agree on darkening the BG a tad, as the chest area tends to blend in to the BG. Still, well captured.
