American Oystercatcher #3

[Bill Dix]

D90; 80-400 VR @ 370mm. ISO 320. f/8. 1/2500s. -1.0 EV. HH. 73% of original size.

This is the sequel to yesterday's post and the end of the Oystercatcher series. I believe this is the male, slightly smaller than the female posted yesterday. C&C appreciated.

Hi Bill, Very simlar to the last post but more of a side view. You framed the subject well with a clean backround. Earlier light would of helped the image....

Hi Bill - agree with Daves comments - horizon line forms a contrast line in the BG and I find my eye being drawn to it. Still nice detail throughout - good clear sharp eye.
Have enjoyed this series.

Hi Bill Comparing the two is interesting, the slight head turn of the earlier post makes a different. Image seems more personal and beak looks better !!! .... just personal preference but would crop a little top and bottom !!!
