Nice scene Allen. I like the driftwood also. Seems to be in really nice light with birds, wood, and sand reflecting that. I could see taking out the light blob in the lower center or perhaps try a crop from bottom to further emphasize the birds and wood. Nicely seen and taken.

Love the simplicity of the scene. Birds are sharp and I love the driftwood. Without it, it would just be any other photo of birds on a beach.

A beautiful scene you’ve captured here Allen, I’m enjoying the detail and agree about the driftwood being included, which, along with the faint sand patterns, adds interest to the image. A little cropping may enhance the birds further.

Beautiful, Allen. Superb job on the focus and nice eye contact from both birds. Personally I’d probably crop a fair amount off the top and bottom, but that’s just my taste.

This looks pretty good Allen. Nice detail. I’m enjoying the difference between the birds.

HI Allen
The driftwood does add to build a story for these two Snowy Plovers. Nice work.
