American Oystercatcher

The goal of this shot was to generate a very exaggerated blur/bokeh in the camera (versus in photoshop). There was a slight rise between me and the resting bird (it was not on a nest), so I got my lens as low as possible and blurred out but a tiny suggestion of sand behind the bird. I was very happy with this high-contrast result.
