Yesterday, I visited the harbour, and already from a distance noticed this Ruddy Turnstone working on something. I positioned myself on the ground, and got some shots.

Wonderful! Superb POV, detail and background. Looks like a mussel to me.

Beautiful image, Hans. You low Point of View really makes the bird and shell pop.

Love the low angle and it is sharp where it needs to be. Perhaps a little tight, but I like it as is. My only suggestion might be a little more DOF to keep the tail sharp.
