    Hi Everyone,
    This is the final image in my dancing sanderling series - the one who wouldn't dance...:cool:...I thought it looked as though he was digging his heels in - if sanderlings have heels, that is...:D
    1D3 300 f2.8
    ISO 800
    f/6.3 1/2000
    Exp comp @ +2/3
    PP as before.
    Look forward to your C & C's.
    Best regards to all,
    Nicki

    Strangely enough, I like this a lot with the minimalist look and high key approach. I missed the others. Did you try this with a thin black frame???

    Nicki, A beautiful series and very artful. I love how the sand looks. The Sanderling is cute as a button and the high key is my fav.:)

    Artie and Denise, thank you so much. Denise, I'm so glad that you have enjoyed the little dancing sanderlings :)
    Artie, I tend to stay away from black borders - just a personal preference, although I'm sure that it would look just fine :)

    Nice image and application Nicki.

    I might crop a little off the bottom and left border, if it were mine, but ... your image ... your vision.

    As for the dance ... Maybe it just doesn't hear the music! ;) :D

    A little cutie, Nicki, like all your other sanderlings! :) Lovely details and high-key look. I also like how he's facing out of the frame, it fits the image somehow. Very well done on this series, I've enjoyed it immensely!
    God Bless
