Nice that you maneuvered to get he feet clear of beach debris. Sharp, and the whites look nice and pure. Having the body more parallel to the camera would have prevented the bill's shadow being projected onto the subject, but I suppose wind direction affected roosting body angle. I like the puffy look, and the shiny legs.

Very nice image with great colors and details. The only downfall is the shadow from the beak. Comp looks great too and I love the red eye ring. Well done

I like the colors and setting and that we can see the feet. Good catchlight and pose. Water color looks great. TFS
