Wow. Super nice. The surrounding colors make the bird shine. Lovely head angle.

Awesome image Glen. The habitat is cool too. Super HA, clarity and sharpness.

Very nice! As lovely as the vegetation is, it competes with the bird a little too much, for me. I wonder if increasing exposure on the entire image would help a little -- the bird seems a bit dark, too. Or bring up the darks a little. Either would have the effect of lowering contrast just a little, which I think would be worth looking at.

It there a bit more canvas on the left?

As a fan of shorebirds...this image really makes me salivate :) Totally awesome in all regards. The up North flora carpet is as interesting and pleasing to look at as the bird itself. Brilliant breeding plumage on this one.
