- DESCRIPTION AND SETTINGS : Oystercatcher cruising the shore of an island in the Galapagos. Nikon D60, f5.0, 155mm with a 70-300mm lens.
- Judge's Critique: Oystercatcher: Good specimen shot. You seem to be down at his eye level, and he is sharp in the right places. Birds, or any animal, with black and white tonalities can be challenging under direct light. The camera's meter tends to over-expose in these situations. Underexposing by a stop or more would have preserved the white feathers' details and darkened the legs while still leaving enough exposure latitude to open up the blacks. I tried to emulate this in the visual critique. See the side-by-side comparison and let everyone know what you think.
