About This Image
I did not think of Whimbrels as elegant until I captured this shot. I cropped closer to the bird. There was some great wave action just to the left, so I got rid of as it competed with the bird. The big waves far in the background were also too interesting, so I went for a uniform bokeh. Then I sharpened the bird and waves and left the rest soft.
