One of my top picks. These shorebirds are endlessly fascinating, and your image conveys both the delicacy and the warmth of the moment with a practiced eye. Guessing you were on all fours in the sand to capture this?

I like this image very much. Fits the challenge well enough. Kind of wish the OOF birds had a tad more distance, but hey, it is what it is. I'd have been happy to capture this also. Good luck.
