I really like the lighting of this image. It adds to the dynamics of the content of the photo. I love how sharp that 300mm lens is!

Hi Sayer,
This is a wonderful capture! Happy Birthday! \/

Great shot Sayer, good to see you back. I have a feeling this might be a Dunlin in winter plumage. Could be wrong but that would be my guess...whatever it is good shot...

He looks as cold as you said it was going to be up there. Great shot. Hope your Birthday photo outing gives us fans lots more pics to enjoy.
