I recognized the ones on the stone to start with then I realized there are more on the vegetation, what an interesting shot and a good pana shot as well, well done.

Nice shot of the many Sandpipers in one place. I don't think that the (800 X 600 -100K) file size limitation does this shot justice as this is a shot that must be seen larger to be appreciated. The shot has nice contrast and colorations. The little ones in the front of the shot get a little lost. I wish there was a link to a larger file, I can see that it is a great shot! Very nicely done!! :)

I love panoramic shots of sandpipers - though I've never managed thirteen in the frame at once...

This is great - as Keith says, a bigger version would be something to see.

I was able to see the larger version of this shot and all I can say is "What a huge difference" the size makes. Great Shot Reigh!!!
