The winter birds are starting to come back, and I am looking forward to making some images of them (when I can find the time :() Anyway here is a juvie least sandpiper for now. This was taken at last light, and I actually cooled this image down a bit.
I considered removing the rocks on the right, but I think they are small enough that they don't really detract from the overall image
Glad to hear your shorebirds are coming back as ours are just about gone!
I like the rocks as they add a bit of interest ... in fact, wouldn't mind seeing more of them if you have it.
Actually, wouldn't mind a bit more on the left either and especially at the bottom to allow for a bit of space below the virtual feet.
Aidan, love the low angle, the light and the gorgeous bird. Another vote for more space all around, especially below.
I seem to get a lot of noise with my 50D above iso 400. Did you do any NR in PP?
Thanks everybody for the advice. I agree on more space all around.
Sidharth: Yes, I ran NR on the background in this image. With the 50D, I don't like going above ISO 640. Exposing to the right will help with noise, but the 50D is a pretty noisy camera.
