Neat action with the walking whimbrel and what appears to be a still moving crab. I love the soft looking ground and the neat colouring to it. A lower angle would have the top half of the BG less busy (by throwing it more OOF, and I realize getting lower isn't always possible) but it is still pretty neat. I would, however, try to remove the dark spot touching the head and the one to the left of it.

Very nice pose and crab makes it much more interesting.

Wonderful shot. Great walking pose, detail is great, and love the crab. A big bonus.
Well done.

I like the mossy soft FG and the crab. I would like to see a bit more room in front.I never knew their legs were blue. very cool! TFS

Action well captured, Dan !! A little cramped for space. Great habitat inclusion.
