Sandpiper

[Robert Holguin]

Hello everyone. I saw these little guys running around while I shooting some stilts. This one stayed at a distance and posed for some shots. Hope you enjoy. C&C welcomed and encouraged.

Robert, this is a nice head turn and environment shot but I really find myself wanting the full reflection. I really like the clean bg with just the row of sand and water going across

I would have liked the full reflection too! Perhaps there was some obstruction you did not want to include, which I would understand. Nice light, maybe a bit too much of a head turn (I'm not a fan of a far "peek-a-boo" eye), but still better than not enough.

Thank you both for your comments. I too wished for the full reflection but there was another piece of mud obstructing.
