I headed out to shoot piping plover chicks this morning..and hour and a half drive after getting only 3 hours of sleep because I was dumb enough to stay up and watch the Boston Celtics loose to the LA Lakers :(
The tide was a bit higher than I figured when I arrived so they weren't out on the flats as I had hoped at first.
Image created lying down with this little cutie on top of a little rise in the sand. The lighting looks a bit flat as there was actually a weird little bit of steam rising off of the sand. I did add a small amount of contrast enhancement and curves on the subject with a QM.
I did clean up a few little bits of shell but the sliver of DOF is exactly as it is in the original file.
Nikon D300s, 600VR, TC14EII, ISO 400, f5.6, 1/2500, CW metering, NearUniWB, +.7 EV
