Sanderling

[Ryan Schain]

Shot on South Beach in Chatham, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. Within sight of me while I photographed this bird were 43 Hudsonian Godwits and 1 Marbled Godwit. South Beach is an incredible spot.

Cool pose, good sharpness and eye contact. The bird could go a bit lighter for my taste and I would run NR on the BG.

OK, not THE south beach.:) These are fast birds, congratulations on capturing such a sharp image. I might remove the dark spot on the right center.
