Geat low angle, and I love the fluffing pose. I also like the overall shades of white and grey with just a pinch of orange on the neck. I'm wonderingif the image is a bit dark overall, and although I normally like the inckusion of vegetation I find myself distracted by the thin long strand directly underneath the feet (I like the OOF one at left edge). Awesome BG, and the details look great.

P.S. Molting Sanderling?

The lighting is lovely but overall the image is a bit dark. I like the salt & pepper look of the bird and the fluffed up pose, allowing you to see the delicateness of individual feathers.

Terrific light, low angle, fluffed-up pose. Great IQ and BG. I agree it might go just a tad brighter.

Personally, I like the darker images like this one and I think the bird stands out nicely. It gives a feel for the time of day this was taken. I especially like the OOF rocks and sand in the foreground. Excellent image!

The angle and lighting is superb. I think it is light enough, the bird really stands out, I also like the foreground, it looks like it is on snow.

Daniel,

Good suggestions. Here is a corrected post. I removed the seaweed, and lightened it just a bit. (perhaps a bit more?)

Thanks.
