Great La Jolla shot. It was a wonderful day shooting together with 5 passionate photogs. I am sure you have the same shot of the Heermann's Gull I posted earlier today.

Great day for sure :smile:
Your Heermann's from that spot is better than mine - much sharper. I have a couple others that are ok, and will post them later on.

Really nice techs and processing on this Sandy. Love the nice light you had. My only issue, is the birds seems a bit to centered in a square crop. Just a preference thing, but i would probably crop him a bit more off center to make it not feel so square.

I'm still trying to find one here for my AZ list. Nice view and leg position. Color seems a little saturated and I'd change the framing a bit by taking some off the top.

Wish one of my image of this Turnstone were close to as good as this. Great day with you. I like how you use DOF to highlight the Turnstone.

nice light and a good active pose, Sandy. I agree with the others that my preference would be to move the bird off center a bit.
