That classic pose

[Nagesh Mula]

I liked the way in which this Godwit posed for me. I like Godwits as they are very comfortable with my presence :)
Would like to know your opinions.

Love it!

I believe the focus point was at the bill and not the eye, I would selectively sharpen the face and eye a little. Light angle and BG colors are terrific.

Good point made by JC and also the light was a bit harsh and from the side. Nice placement in the frame.
