To me this looks good in all respects....love the perch and dreamy BG. Great focus and exposure, seaweed in the beak tops it off.

[Rodney Flowers]

Definitely a keeper. I love the background and sanderling looks nice and sharp. I don't see anything wrong with it myself.

Incredible plummage detail here Denise. These fellas look great in their best breeding plummage but I really like the fall/winter plummage as well. The whites and grays with the black accents on the beak and legs is very nice looking. You captured it perfectly. Love the perch as well.

So beautiful Denise excellent shot and I love your composition as this bird is feeding the bg really pops the Sanderling off the screen...

[Scott Vincent]

Very nice Denise - Definitely a keeper. Very nice composition and lighting, and the light shadowing on the belly helps to provide a bit of a 3D effect, which I like. This isn't the typical "Sanderling on the sand" shot - nice job!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Beautiful indeed Denise. Love the low angle and the composition is most appealing with him feeding and the wonderful rock he is walking on. The detail and color are excellent . Fine work !!!

[Michael Zajac]

Fantastic details and sharpness. The green rock and the blue BG make this special. Terrific pose also.

[Bill Dix]

Lovely colors and detail, Denise. The seaweed is a nice bonus. Great capture.

[Raymond Barlow]

beautiful details, and colours Denise, as mentioned it does look a bit 3d! cool.

Paul, That's so funny. I love the little shorebirds-At least it wasn't another BBP:D

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Denise,
Way to get down low at Barnegat... These little guys don't stand still very long! The ocean BG really stands out!

Thanks Roman, I appreciate you taking the time to look.
