Hi Joe. Certainly a suitable entry for the theme. I love all the different feather textures, so well captured with good exposure. And a great preening pose.

Hi Joe, another great image to show off the theme. Lovely preening pose, and the exposure and detail is spot on, and I quite like your comp.

Love your work, Joe. Another fantastic close up of a nice shore bird. Love the detail in the white feathers, the eye contact and the twisted pose.
