[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is an old shot I have a special thing for, I love the pose of this Sanderling (Calisris alba). They are often seen on the westcoast of Jutland.

The shot has been worked a bit with PS CS, where I adjusted colors, contrast, USM and removed a bright spot in the beak.

Great shot Thomas.
I like the low angel.
Excellent POV, composition, sharpness and colours.
Great work.

Good shot Thomas. Getting on his level gives very good results, and showing his reflection in the water too. Very clear. Well done.

Le reflet donne beaucoup de caractère et équilibre super bien la photo.

An excellent first performance, Thomas.
Nice composition and point of view.
I wish you the most cordial welcome on TN.
In the pleasure to admire your next posts and to read your notes and critics.
Thank you for sharing so beautifull pictures and for the enjoyment which they give us.

A warm welcome to Trek Nature, Thomas. Colors, details, composition and light management excellent. A bit tight on upper part. (Not bad for a Nikon D70... I'm only joking!!!). I look forward to admiring your future postings.

Good capture, very detailed with a good DOF. Reflection adds to the composition, regards, Iris

Très belle image. belle composition

Well done, not easy to capture shorebirds feeding with the prey in the bill. The POV is excellent. I assume you were in some sort of hide or lying on the ground. The PP work is good and teh composition and sharpness is good.

Welcome on TN Thomas.

Great first post - the Sigma really pays off. Excellent pov looks like you were down on the belly to get this one, hope you did not get wet too wet. Great colours and excellent sharpness getting all the details and even a nice reflection in the water. Very nice composition too and very clever handling of the light - well done.

I understand why you have a special thing for this shot, Thomass. It's a very attractive image due to the low POV, the fantastic light and colors and the motion in the upper part of the water, making it very lively, as well as the action of capturing critters does.
A great first post. Many more to come, I hope!
