Common RedShank

[Luis Patacao]

Hi, this is a common redshank shot here close to Lisbon with an afternoon light. I do know that the angle is not the ideal, but in this place its hard to get to the "water level".

Comments and critiques appreciated, and would like to know what would you change in this?

You have lovely light and I am fine with your shooting angle.
Nice reflection as well.
I wish for a better head angle.

I like the intensity of the hunt and that we see the light ripples in front of a previous attempt for something to eat. Good catchlight. Very nice overall light and I'm fine with the shooting angle also.

Wonderful light and details. I am with Gail on wishing for a little more head angle toward the viewer but still a pleasing image!
