After bath leap

[Grace Scalzo]

The last click from a fun evening of photographing oystercatchers. At last light, the little group moved down to the surf's edge to bathe and feed. Very little light left, I like the resulting blur of the toes and the wings. Added a bit of canvas to the top.

Grace, I love the blurred wings and the tiipy toes. I might smooth out a couple of repeats at the top. Fantastic pose and wish it were mine.:)

Grace:
Lovely capture with a nice mix of sharp and blurred. Light nice, flying drops, very environmental.

As Denise mentioned, a little gardening on the repeats to smooth them out.

Very nice.

Grace I love this image, the blurred wings and feet with the tack sharp eye make this a wonderful image. Not to mention my favorite element great light.
