Hi Ivan
I like natural surroundings. Nice mirror shot. Good sharpness, nice natural colors. Little noises in background are not important here
Best wishes

Hi Ivan

Yes we can see that the image quality declines when even you start cropping. But who cares its better than my wood sandpiper (I've only seen a couple and don't have a shot at all, lol:)). The pose is characteristic and all the important identifying features are clearly visible.

cheers

Hi Ivan,

great shot! Despite the fact that the animal is weary, it is not running from you, giving it an interesting pose. Important for limicole pictures is the fact that you can inspect all the necessary details of the rump for ID! I hope you find more canned pictures in your stock!

Best regards

Another perfect capture from your bottomless archive Ivan, the low POV almost lengthened the legs of this fine Sandpiper specimen, making it look taller and in spite of the heavy cropping the plumage and coloration details are very satisfactory. Of course, that fine reflection really makes this a nice composition. Thanks for sharing this rare scene with us my friend, best regards,

Merhaba Ivan,
Nice to see Tringa glareola also in Cyprus by your great capture. It is very beautiful species. Your presentation great even with heavy crop. Lighting very nice, POV, composition with reflection great. I like this work very much. Blue BG wonderful and it supplied super contrast for darker foreground. TFS, well done my friend

Hej Ivan,
a fine picture of the Wood sandpiper.
The plumage is beautiful both in colours and pattern.
I like the composition with the fine reflection.
Mycket fin bild.
Slut på arkivbilder? Ja, då har du ju inte tid med trädgårdsarbete, det är nog dax att testa ditt nya gömsle istället ;-))

Hi Ivan,

Spring can't be too far away so you shouldn't be digging into your archives much longer. I for one love seeing your past pictures. This Sandpiper is wonderful - I have never seen one. Love the pose - open beaks are my favorites. Wonderful colors, details, setting and a lovely composition.

I do enjoy these birds...seen many of them in Northern California but alas none here....at least so far. My eyes are opening much wider now thanks to TN and images such as these...The reflection is almost a bonus! Colours are nice and of course I think you cold write the books of notes...from all of your years of knowledge and learning...

I guess you come out quite muddy from your photographic journeys! This is a real nice picture, Ivan. I like the reflection and the pose of the bird and the beautiful blue colour in the background. The details on the bird are amazing and velvety. Thank you!

hello Ivan

doing the tour of my favorite photographers, i realize that
i missed some of your images, lovely image of this Wood Sandpiper,
the POV and the framing are excellent, i love the vertical framing
because we had the the reflection of the subject on the water
and i love too the framing because there is a good space
in front where the bird is looking, excellent luminosity of the image
with excellent sharpness and details, TFS
