The east coast probably has more oystercatchers than it's humanly possible to photograph, but every now and then, one will stand still for long enough to take a picture! There's the beginnings of a wave coming in behind him, which wasn't intentional, but in hindsight I like how it frames the the bird at the top. There was a fairly strong colour cast not unknown to those of us who enjoy shooting in the early and late hours, which I attempted to remove by desaturating the yellows and reds and masking off everything except the parts of the bird that skewed orange. Oddly enough, those four bubbles on the lower left aren't a repeating pattern; they were sitting there like that on the beach, and not the result of any cloning.
