These sandpipers are so busy finding food, there are example of being focused on one task, like bird photographers finding the "perfect shot".

I am trying a new copyright watermark to deter people stealing my pictures to make prints, not that has happened but somebody wanted to buy one of my pictures and mailed me a 5x7 print from a picture posted in this forum and it was amazing the quality. Is the watermark too annoying ?? Thanks for your comments.

Love the reflection in this shot Juan. I'd perfer to see him in the left og the frame. The watermark looks fine to me.

Really cool!
I love the distorted reflection. I think it can go a little lighter.

A nice shot, Juan! :lol:
Love the reflection and like Alan I'd like to see the subject places slightly to the left of the frame. Brighten up the image a little would make it even better too ...

Great reflection and action.

I agree with a less centered image.

The watermark is not a problem.

Lovely peep, Juan. The skinny, distorted reflection is wonderful. I'd crop out about half of the negative space on the left.

Great image of this peep. I especially like the bands of colors in the water, very nice. The bird really pops. The watermark is about as unobtrusive as any I've seen.

I would try cropping from the top and having a little more negative space in front of the bird. From the back would only take a tad because I like the wave!!!

Watermark seems fine.... can't hardly see it

Very good capture

Agree with Alan on the cropping. The image otherwise is superb in regard to the exposure and water. The water mark doesn't bother me.

This is a beautiful image and I love the scrunched up reflection. The watermark does not distract for me.
