Wood Sandpiper
Here is another from my recent trip to Norway.
Having found these birds and taken the first images from the car, I decided to make use of the camouflage clothing and lie down in the grasses, very close to the car, to get a lower angle. The light direction wasn't ideal but I think the lower angle improved the background.
C&C welcome.
Cheers
Austin.

Very nice shot, love how just the grass around the bird is in focus...overall great shot!
Hi Austin, I really like the use of habitat here and the nice low angle.I think I would have exposed more for the shadow side of the bird and let the side facing the light go to the edge of over exposing I think it would have made for a more dramatic image.

Good strategy that paid off. Perhaps you could warm the image a tad?
very nice shot,I agree with what been said,I would lighten the eye abit.thanks.
Getting down and dirty has worked well here Austin, and just love surrounding grasses. Lovely pose, and I would try and lighten the eye if possible.
