Thank you, Dee. This whole day was a terrific time shooting! I loved this guy—he had the longest beak of any sandpiper I saw that day!

Beautiful image! Your timing was great to cue the bird for his “walk-on”! But I’m pretty sure that guy’s from the Dowitcher family. Gorgeous photo either way—Cheers!
Rebecca Cozart

Pat Yager
A beautiful shot, Kevin! I love the pastels! – Pat
Kevin Bergen replied
Thanks so much! Wow, such sudden attention on this photo. Was it featured somewhere or something?
Pat Yager
Hi, Kevin – Possibly the sudden attention is due to the effect of your being on someone’s Watchlist and being favorited – it then has the ripple effect and “goes from there” – Pat
Brenda Thour
Gorgeous shot! Love the colors!
Kevin Bergen replied
Thank you for the kind comment!
Wayne Pearson

simonesphotos
Oh I love this, this is special!! Great work Kevin!!
Kevin Bergen replied
This bird became my buddy! He was happy to be my model, and I was thrilled he was around. He really had the longest beak on the beach (the other sandpipers clearly had beak envy and ostracized him!)
Wendi Donaldson
OH wow….a total fave!! Looks like a dream. This is truly exquisite.
Kevin Bergen replied
Thrilled that you like it!! Thanks so much for letting me know.
simonesphotos
Lucky you, he definitely makes the shot! :D
Ruth Vilmi
I love it all, Kevin, but especially the soft colours. A favourite:-)
Kevin Bergen replied
Very kind of you to say so! Much appreciated!
BettinaSchwarz
who would have that that a rocky outcrop could look so soft … !!
This is a beauty!
Kevin Bergen replied
Really quite a spectacular place, Morro Bay, California. I just wish I could share royalties with that great bird!
Philippe Saint...
It’s a dream shot !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Salut ;o)
Kevin Bergen replied
Thanks a bunch! Very kind of you.
Larry Stewart
I love the color you captured in this image, as well as the composition. Great work!
Kevin Bergen replied
Thanks man! Love the feedback. I should say though, that I added the color in post-processing. Hope that doesn’t ruin the image for everyone!
Larry Stewart
You know in my opinion(for what it’s worth-lol), as long as you disclose that you adjusted the color then there is no problem. This is a beautiful picture, and all you did is bring out the color that was probably already residing within the image. Now, with some of my photography I go out of my way to craft a unique color tone for the image, the last thing I want is for the photograph to look realistic. I just let people know that there was some sort of post processing or treatment.

What’s wrong with PP even without the admission?
If the image looks good it looks good and this does. The colours give this a magical feel and you should be proud of this!
Kevin Bergen replied
Why thank you! And I am proud of this shot. What’s amazing (to me) is that I didn’t have my DSLR at the time. I shot this with my wife’s Canon point-and-shoot camera. (should I feel hesitant to reveal that??) lol
