Common Sandpiper

[bhavya joshi]

Hi..everyone, Common sandpiper shot at local lake
I was very close of this sandpiper,
with canon 550D, Tamron 70-300mm@ 300mm
F;5.6
ISO:400, 1/3200s
Blur BG. 10% Crop.

Suggestion and advice welcome..

Bhavya this is nice capture.
Bummer that it looks a cutout bird if you have tried to blur the bg .

you can increase sharpness on the bird as it looks soft and add some bottom part so that the feet part does not give cut feel.

Good pose against a beautiful background. My biggest piece of advice here would be to frame the subject looser to avoid cutting the feet at bottom, use the zoom's versatility!

Image seems to be suffering from resizing as the details should be sharper at nearly full-frame.
