    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

    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

    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

    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

    Wendi Donaldson

    OH wow….a total fave!! Looks like a dream. This is truly exquisite.

    who would have that that a rocky outcrop could look so soft … !!
    This is a beauty!

    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

    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.

    bluefinart

    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
