Canon 40D
500mm +1.4 ex.
1/250 sec. at f/5.6

Tripod low to ground
Early morning Sandy Hook end of Oct.
This was FF and I had to add some canvas left and top
I did not touch the bottom-it seems everytime I do I mess up-:)

Denise:

Lovely light, feels like morning here,good job on the added canvas. Yes, I was going to say, I wish there was a sliver more canvas below. Perhaps double the current amount, which still will be a pretty small amount.

Nice foot up, intense pose.

another beauty from you denise, try to add a bit below, still loved the pose, great level and details here.. congrats..

[Matt Vosniak]

Denise you are just knocking these shorebird shots out perfectly. This is another beautiful capture. The low angle and the striding pose look great and the techs are spot on as well. Excellent job.

[Joe Senzatimore]

You really know how to capture the sweet light and use the low angle to it's full advantage. Just a magnificent image.

[Harshad Barve]

Yet another great shot of shorebird , bit canvas at bottom and this will rock

Sweet low angle nice hunting pose and pretty bg well done Denise as always...

[Michael Zajac]

Fantastic walking pose and you did good getting this little one full frame. Agree about the canvas at the bottom. Easy fix for you. Great low angle and details. VWD.

[denise ippolito]

Thankyou all for your comments. I appreciate them-I will be adding a bit of canvas to the bottom.Thankyou.

[Danny Laredo]

Nice one Denise. The pose is real nice. Maybe a bit tight at the bottom but otherwise a really pleasing image.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the angle, sharpness, puffed-up pose and light. I wish the bird were angled toward you and another vote for a tad more room at the bottom.

[Fabs Forns]

Hehe, he looks like someone reprimanded him. Great light and another vote for more room at bottom.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Denise, good walking pose, with the hint of the slightly raised right foot. Lovely warm colours, and your low angle works well. Well captured.

amazing that you were on a tripod here, looks like your lens is half buried in the sand!! sweet angle and pose!

[Danny J Brown]

Hi Denise: Great plover close-up with the funny look on its face that Fabs explained (smile). Wonderful color and background and nice light and exposure. The little critter really does look sad!

[Dave Blinder]

Denise - Great comp, sharpness, and DOF.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Denise,
Sweet BG! I agree with a hair more on the bottom...but this is excellent!
