Hi Jonathan,
Great details in the blacks and lovely BG. I like the ruffled, fluffed up feathers.
Is there a bit of a magenta cast in the dirt?

Gail you raise an interesting point. When I posted I didn't notice one, when you mentioned it I thought I saw it, I have returned to the image and the ambient light has changed and now I don't see it. It will be interesting to see if other people think there is a cast. There may be a slight reddish colour becasue there is a lot of sandstone in this area and it was taken in a filed near to the beach.

I like the ruffled feathers and the exposure on the blacks, which had been made easier by the overcast light. Nice BG, although I'd be tempted to tone down (but not fully eliminate) the dark spot in front of the bill. I'd also have preferred ahd you pointed your lens an inch or two lower to get more of the dirt perch.
P.S. No magenta cast from here.
