It paid off to be patient b/c this is a stunner. Love the way you caught it on its front toes. Great low angle and HA. This is NOT a DAD image. It's top notch and I would be proud to have this one in my portfolio. The light is a kicker. I took it into PS and I think it needs a little CCW rotation to make that back foot flat on the sand. Of course you may have seen it differently.

Hi Sid, just love the low angle here, and you have captured a good walking pose. Good DOF on the Curlew, and the late afternoon has turned out nicely showing up warm colours. Killer BG too.

Excellent shot, I like the light and the walking pose, as mentioned previously the clearly visible feet enhance the image.

It's simple and clean but not boring! The beautiful light and striding pose toward you make this one stand out in my book.

Thank you all; I appreciate the comments.

I had checked level on the tripod, but I too keep wanting to CCW rotate this a bit. I'll do it tonight. Thanks!

Sidharth....told ya...down south is amazing. I wish I could do some trips there.
this is an awesome shot...best parts are the light and the pose with the front foot just touching the sand. You nailed this one in every way...exposure, comp, details, subject angle. wouldn't touch a thing.

Thanks Kaustubh. This was my third trip to Bolivar in the last 2 years when I happened to be in Houston for some other reasons. Unfortunately it has rained on each of those visits.
I plan to visit this spring specifically for bird photography (and eagerly looking forward to it)

Wonderful shot. I just love the warm soft light and the slightly raised foot. Great detail and excellent shooting angle.
Very well done.
