Nice walking pose with just the right head turn and eye contact, Bill. Nice low angle shot.
Great work Bill! Love the simple clean smooth background, just the right amount of OOF foreground, great composition, lighting, catch light, exposure, lifted foot with no motion blur. Wish I had taken that one ;)
Thanks for posting this one Bill. It's a beauty in my eyes :)

Nice shot, good low angle with nice light.. would like the head tilt just a touch more towards viewer for my taste.. cheers, Merv
I like the dynamic pose and the nice low angle. Good sharpness and colours.

A bit more head turn would have been nice for me, but a very nice dynamic pose...
I like the low angle, sharpness, determined walking pose and composition. Nice image Bill!
Lovely frame Bill. All works well here. Love the raised foot. I like the stride and the HA looking forward suits the image.

Oh man I love that plumage. Very nice walking stride too, you got it at just the perfect leg position. My kind of low angle too! Yes, I agree slightly better head angle would have given the image a few more points. Still a superb shorebird image, nicely done.
Beautiful image, Bill. Love the full stride, foot up position. Well worth going over to the far cove.

Thanks everyone.
