Whimbrel With Breakfast

[Bob Decker]

Another shot from North Carolina's Crystal Coast. It was getting late in the morning and the light is a bit on the harsh side. This guy was really quite shy and kept quite a bit of distance between us except for this one exposure. I guess he couldn't resist moving in a bit closer for a tastey morsel. 40D, Bigma @ 500mm, iso 800, f/10.0, 1/1000.

Hi Bob You made the best possible image from your location and do like the low view !!! About all I would do in PS is remove the white oof areas from the lower right and lighten the area behind the eye a bit !! ... also could use a soft brush and smooth our the bg on top !! Doing well !!!

Bob, agree with the good points by Mr. Forns. Would suggest that I might crop from the bottom just above the bright spots to eliminate them. Good low angle and feeding behavior!

Hi Bob - like the action - AL has it covered.
Looking forward to seeing more :)

Hi Bob,Agree with above comments...good low angle and you could simply clone out the bright areas on bottom if so inclined. Agree about the harshness of the light...
