These birds are quite scarce in the UK so a nice bird for the local patch.
Hey Nick, You did a great job with this UK rarity. Love the raised foot and the shape of the unique setting. EXP, SH, and image design are spot-on. Cheers mate!
ps: When was this image made?
I also love the raised foot. Although, I wish both feet are a bit sharper. Nonetheless, everything else on the bird is quite sharp and detailed. Well done on this rare bird!
Fantastic detail and sharpness. I too like the raised foot and the complementary bg.
TFS,
Rachel
Great setting, lovely pose with the rised foot and excellent details, Nick.
Hi Nick, good low angle of capture, with a good angled pose and raised foot. I liked how he is placed in the lower part of the surroundings. What a sweet BG too.
Thanks for all the comments.
The image was made last fall Artie, the date is just below the photo, I'm pleased you like it.Quote:

Good techs in what must have been difficult conditions.
Nick-
Funny how a raised foot and inquisitive stare can really make an image sing! Nice angle to get the feet in the image.
Not sure I would change a single thing.

Wonderful image, the pose is smashing, low angle gives it a great look
love it all the way
I too love the raised foot I also like the curve with the sand created and your depth of field. I would personally like to see a little bit more room on our right side of the frame
