If I had a word to discribe what I see,
in the light, on the sand, from the sky.
If I had a word to show you what I see,
from my right, along the waves, soon takes flight.
And if I found that word to show you what I've seen, flare so bright, strutting tall, searching for it's course.
A bird is what I would say.
Long lens around 100mm/100 iso/ 5.6f
this pix was severly washed out, so I did the following to improve it.
PS= Levels, Sharpen, Layers, over the top Shadows BG, 80 Cooling Filter 10% BG, 85 Warming Filter @ 25% subject, some healing, some cloneing. |

This image is so over processed that it almost looks like the bird was pasted in from another image. |

my attention seems to be drawn to the ground below the bird not the bird itself. |

i really like the texture in the sand, maybe a little less background though. Unfortunately the he processing has left the bird looking like it was cut and pasted into the scene. |

There seems to be too much brightness in the flection off the ground to make this a pleasing picture. |

Sandpipers are so delicate on their skinny legs. I like how you did the contrast. |

Oh this is neat. I love the color tones and dof. Nice job. |

Bird seems WAY oversharpened, or the selection job could have been better. The clear black lining between the body and the background is jarring. 4 |
