Superb job on the exposure and detail in the Oyster Catcher, Gary. For my taste , the background is a bit overpowering in this one, particularly that large light colored boulder in the upper part of the frame (but my wife just said she loves it, so what do I know?).
I agree with Dennis about the BG but dang, you have captured the black very nicely. That light on the bird really brings out the bird, Gary.
That’s easy, Dennis. You go with your wife’s opinion!
I disagree with the others re: background. I like it. O/W I agree with their comments.
Nice job getting the blacks and fine detail in the oystercatcher. I think the background works as an environmental shot; where one typically sees these birds.
