Hi Grace, perfect low angle, super walking pose with the raised foot. I really like the light in this, the godwit is sharp, and that BG is sweet.

Really great angle, Grace.
You do a really nice job getting just the right DOF, and the pose is very nice.

Excellent angle and I love the detail, colours and the raised foot

[Daniel Cadieux]

What a fabulous background!! Nice pose too, and the super low angle is to my liking! I'd eliminate the pebble touching the toe and the largest OOF pebble directly above it.

Great walking pose you captured here Grace. Great BG as well.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Grace, perfect shot IMO. the low angle combined with the raised foot, bird angle, layered BG makes it quite special. Well done.
