Sanderling Portrait

[Aidan Briggs]

Another shorebird portrait, this one from last Spring. I saw my first Sanderling for this fall last weekend with some Dunlin, and Semipalmated Plovers, all of which were frustratingly skittish for my 400mm.

50D, 100-400 at 400
1/800, f/5.6, ISO 400
HH, moderate crop

Aidan:

Sharp, well exposed, nice detail in feathers. Nice HA, soft light.
I might give it a bit more space on top.

Cheers

Thanks Randy, I like the crop as is, just my personal preference:)

Aidan:

Its your picture, so you get to make the choice on crop. I just stated how the image struck me. :)

Very nice image Aidan. Nice exposure and comp.

[Ray Rozema]

Great detail and comp. I wonder about lightening the eye slightly and removing the speck on the cheek if ethics allow. Thanks for sharing.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Loved it. The textures, the light, the exposure, comp, BG and detail are all A+ to me.
Congratulaitons!
