Sanderling

[Gary Esman]

Hello, taken at Fort Myers Beach a few weeks ago. The reflection is off hotels and he/she is standing in the shade of a tree that is located very near the waters edge. Do appreciate the comments. Enjoy the weekend!

7D, iso: 500, 1/1000, f/5.6, 700mm.

Low angle, very sharp, clean background makes for a super image...very well done

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent shot with very nice soft background.

[Dave Leroy]

Very well done on the pose and placement of bird. I especially like the nice soft light and how the Sanderling is placed between the two splashes of complimentary color. Really nice.

Hi Gary,
i hope you do not mind i misused your image!!
I like it very much in terms of IQ,light,framing the bird ,BG and low angle.
But i think it can stand a bit more LCE for that last little punch (my thinking)

Cheers Andreas

Very nice angle and framed well.
The bird looks sad!

Excellent shot overall, only a minor thing, tail is not sharp. Love the light.

Hi Gary, lovely low angle, and just love the soft light and pastel colours. Andreas' repost puts this up a notch.
