Shorebird II

[Harold Davis]

taken last year while on vacation. just going back through some old files and practicing with Ps. nothing special here as far as PP. cleaned up the foreground a little and cropped the top and bottom for compo. added and artificial catchlight too.

D300, 50-500 at 500mm, f/8, 1/2000s, 0EV, ISO 400. the AF never locked. guessing the dof was enough to keep it decent.

thanks for looking. comments and critiques much appreciated!!

The color rendition and details are good Doctor. Love the pano crop, would take a small slice off the top and from the left side of the frame...I like the catch light...keep them coming...:cool:

hi Harold - great feel to this - agree with Gus would trim a little from the LHS.
Colours, pose etc good.
Like it :)

Fine looking image Harold !!! Love the look of the wave behind, minor tweaks in framing are just personal taste ... you have come up with a good one !! Proud of you !!!

I like the low angle and the walking plight of this guy. Great moment in the life of nature image, simple and real - thanks for sharing.

Nice techs, might have opened up one stop if possible?

Very nice, sharp with good details, love the low angle with OOF wave in the background, the seaweed/leaf on the right fit with the walking pose nicely. The pano crop work well too, very well done.
