sanderling (CALIDRIS ALBA)

This is one of my favourite pictures which I took when I was still fairly new to digital photography. When I first posted the image I new zilch about processing and I am embarrased by the terrible job I did. I hope it looks better now. I may just pull the original out of archive and stick it on the wall. It will be my first. It was a cold winter's day and I got a bit soaked by the cold wet sand and the odd freak wave but it was worth it, for me at any rate.

Haven't seen the original processed shot, but this certainly has a lot of punch. Nice one

Hope you are well. Have you used the 50mm lens yet?

It looks pretty sound to me, I just can't get anywhere near these birds, must be going about it all wrong.
