Saw this plover on the beach on Sanibel Island and wanted to catch a shot with the bird and incoming surf.

Nice pose and the bird is stunning, Allen. I like the foam, bu wish the stuff in the foreground were in focus. However, if f/13 wasn’t enough, you were unlikely to get it no matter what you did unless you managed to get close enough to use a wider lens.

Excellent shot of the Plover. Although I agree would be nice to have some of the foam in focus at least that is adjacent to the bird, I still like this image quite a bit. The detail In the Plover is exquisite.

I don’t mind the foam at all… I do wish you were a tad lower.
Bird looks great.
