About the Image(s)

Shot in Dec'21, I loved the poses this beautiful Willet gave. One such pose shared here.
I also liked the small frothy patches of the water as the waves retreat.

Shot at 600mm using my cropped sensor body, f/6.3 and 1/1250. Used SHarpenAI tool.

Nice, sharp image of a willet in a lovely pose. And I really like the texture of the sand. My only suggestion is to crop out some of the top of the image because it has nothing of interest, and this might enhance the emphasis on the bird and the textured sand.   Posted: 07/13/2024 13:51:11

I like that the willet is looking back, not just a front view. The detail in the feathers and water bubbles is pleasing. It is nicely cropped as there is nothing in the background to distract from the bird.   Posted: 07/17/2024 18:09:32

Lovely image, nice back glance pose! I would crop this photo from the top and very slightly on the sides.   Posted: 07/24/2024 14:49:18

Dhananjay Excellent shot, I like the bubbles, the background is soft, texture of the feathers is great - sharp image. Not sure I would crop the top as it gives me a sense of place, but try it, it may work for you.   Posted: 07/24/2024 23:23:14
