After comments from this thread (http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php/102184-Black-Bellied-Plover-(Pulling-hard)), I edited the photo a bit and came up with this:

Here's my quick version, Miguel. I LOVE the action here, but I find the photo too bright overall. I did a Multiply Layer at 40% opacity. I also cropped from the bottom and left and added some canvas on top.

Thanks Marina, I like the edit!

Hi Miguel, you are on the right track. I prefer your OP with regards to comp, but like what Marina has done with the multiply layer blend.
