Taken in the Galapagos Islands. Not sure what type of Oyster Catcher they are. This is another one where I purposely focused on the one and wanted the others in the background OOF.

Handheld, no crop
not sure here, rachel but i think there's too much going on. it's really the one facing away that breaks it for me. that and the light seems a little harsh or contrasty. i like the low capture angle and will be interested to hear what the others say. it is definitely different!!
Hi Rachel - agree with Harold - a lot of the time you can get away with 1 thing thats not ideal - but when you start to get a few things they tend to have a cumulative effect.
Might need some CCW rotation.
The harsh light has not helped and just a little busy - IMHO!
Keep em coming :)
Hi Rachel, As mentioned there are a number of things going against the image. The harsh lighting is generally a problem along with the merge of the rear bird. There are a number of hot smaller areas in the back that have a tendancy to pull the eye to them and I would have preferred more room on the bottom and less on the left....
Hi Rachel You did focus on the right bird, always good to have the one in front focused. Tough making multiple birds work and need to have them in sync with the others. Main thing that hurt you here is the harsh light !!! Under this conditions using a Polarizer might work !!
