It's fun to watch these Sandpiper birds scurrying along the beach trying to avoid the waves. Their legs are so long and skinny and they are so quick. Taken in Troncones, Mexico

PP: cropped, highlighted, resized, added +5 contrast, framed and text.

Hi Julie,

You have placed this Sandpiper very nicely in the frame. I like the highlighted foreground and the sharpness that goes with that. All in all a really good presentation.

Regards,
Christian

Hello Julie,
Well framed fellow, good details!
The bird really stands out and creates a great feeling of depth, almost 3D...
Good natural colours and a well composed image!
Greetings,
Pablo -

So how did you get this one to stand still?...lol. Great catch and well done. The simple composition and beachy feel are excellent. Wish I'd brought my beach chair and a picnic lunch:)

Hi Julie, the sandpiper is the featured attraction here but I like the photo in whole overall. First the dry sand, then the wet sand and the water coming in. Footprints are nice for some natural character to the pic. Great job, thanks.

This is a lovely shot Julie, well composed with lots of detail.

Regards Mark :)

Hi Julie,
Great shot of this skinny legged bird, I'm jalouse ;) Nice how the foot prints show clearly in the wet sand. The partly shown sea is a bit disturbing, made a different crop in the WS. Neverheless a superb sharp and interesting photo my dear Julie! My compiments.

hi Julie;
Beautiful capture. Excellent sharpness and colors.

Hi Julie,
I knew that name, but know I can attatch a picture to the sandpiper, and what a picture it is.
Love those legs - the grains of sand and this soft natural colour combination (this from someone who uses in your face colours a lot of the time).
