I took this Thursday morning at Barnaget Jetty. I have a few questions.
1. This is a lack-bellied plover but the bill looks longer and thicker than normal while tail feathers are short. Can anyone explain.
2. I forgot to calibrate my laptop before leaving. Does the color balance and brightness look o.k.?
D300s, 600 with 1.4 tc. 1/400 at 5.6. EC +.3, (auto) iso 400.
Very nice image and bird! Nice detail and eye contact. The whites, exposure, and sharpness all look excellent. Sorry, can't help you regarding unusual bill. Nice capture.
Very nice image, good comp and pose. Although I like the OOF FG element, I would have preferred you go higher and/or right just a tad to have separation between it and the tip of the toe.
Brightness looks good, colours are hard to judge in this case as there is no flagrant cast and I wasn't there to see what the actual colours were like. If you were going for a slightly warm with a hint of a yellowish/reddish look that is what you got.
