Dull morning, but I really like this shot for the composition. The bird is partially hidden, so it is not a great ID shot, but I love the way the Semipalmated Sandpiper is emerging from behind the snail covered stump. The contrast in textures and colors (especially the wood and tangled pile of seaweed) is interesting as well.
Back Creek, in Kennebunk. Nikon Coolpix P300 behind the 15-56x Vario Eyepiece on the ZEISS DiaScope 65FL for something in the 3000mm field of view range. 1/80th @ ISO 160. Programmed Auto. f8 effective (scope limited).
Processed in Lightroom for Clarity and Sharpness.
Beautiful capture!
