Very sweet bird, lovely light and BG. I like the fact that the whole shadow is there. Looks as though it is standing in a little spot of warm light.

I also like the little "island" of light.

Nice golden light Axel. Cute little fella...the legs stand out nicely against the sand and shadow.

Lovely image Axel with excellent exposure and detail as well as a wonderful low angle. Simply beautiful !

[Linda Robbins]

A beautiful clean image, and the subtle spotlight on the sand is especially nice.

Wow - just gorgeous, love the light and the low angle.

Lovely low angle captured here Axel, and well exposed too. I also like the DOF, together with the OOF BG. Well done.

The smoothness of the ground and the soft light on this bird makes this picture stand out.
