    Default Dancing Sanderling

    one from a few days back, while testing my new camera :)
    Not sure was he was actually doing, looks like a wing stretch with the wrong leg up :D Or maybe a double sided wing stretch ? :D

    Love the low angle, the great light, and the calm water Jan. The raised foot and eye contact are also very nice. I might crop a sliver off of the right.

    I like the unusual pose, and the calm waters look pretty darn good. Lovely mood to the image. Although the exposure is perfect I would probably reduce the contrast a bit as the lightest whites and darkest blacks are both pushing their respective limits. I would have preferred a crop to about half the reflection (and then a bit at sides to retain the aspect ratio) - if this is FF then the details should hold up quite nicely.

    I would only suggest to blur the ULC, the rest I like it, although it could pass as a injured bird, specielly because if the leg issue :)
    Nice indeed, light, colors, comp, detail and BG are very nice.
    Congratulaitons!
