Hi all,
Here's an piping plover chick from Sandy Hook, NJ. Minor edits in post, pulled up the shadows a bit, warmed the image, brightened the eye slightly, taken pretty soon after sunrise. Cloned out a couple bits of OOF seaweed and a bit of trash. Tried to compose the crop such that the shadow was still in the frame per Isaac's suggestion which I agree with after comparing some different crops.
Camera: Nikon D500
Lens: 200-500mm f/5.6 at 500mm
Specs: 1/2000 ISO 560 f/5.6
Thanks for looking and commenting on prior posts!
