Oystercatcher Yoga

[Axel Hildebrandt]

It was a pretty slow morning, the chicks stretched and yawned a lot and I liked this 'helicopter' pose. :) The light was quite low.

Axel, the pose makes this one for me. Terrific timing. I also like all the other things....exposure, low angle and the DOF perfectly covering the entire bird. well done as usual.

[Dave Blinder]

I can't think of anyway to improve the image given the lighting limitations. Great angle and timing Axel.

[Steve Kaluski]

Simple, clean and very well executed Axel, everything I like to see and aspire too.

Might have felt like slow morning, but that statement doesn't go with the photo! Love the pose, low angle and sharpness. Well done!

Axel:

Fun pose, fine techs, good shooting angle.
Nice example of making lemonade.

Cheers

Great pose and that's important. There are so many images you could take - most of the time the chicks are doing nothing. You caught a good moment.

[Simon Bennett]

Lovely wingstretch, techs are spot on.

[Josh Gahagan]
