Nice portrait Griffin. You might want to consider a crop from the bottom to about where the OOF rock ends as well as a crop from the left. I think this puts the bird in a better position in the frame and makes a more pleasing composition. Also, it looks like your sensor needs cleaning (I hate when that happens!) Thanks for sharing. I have never seen or heard of one of these sandpipers before.

Cheryl's crop suggestion really strengthens the composition, IMO. Very nice!!

Not at all bad for stacked TCs. I like Cheryl's crop suggestion too.

Griffin, I'd go for a tighter crop too as suggested.
Not bad for a stacked converters shot ... :lol:

Hi Griffin. I think the repost is a little bit better although I think it could still be improved by placing the bird in the left hand side of the frame giving it more room to look into while taking it out of the center of the image. The dust spots in the water would be an easy clone job. :)
