very nice image Geir,composition,pose,exposure bang on,nice lighting,well done.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Absolutely excellent I love the pose and the miniature landscape with the smooth water flow, I suspect this would do very well in a competition.

Hi Geir, Love the diagonal line of the rock, together with drinking behaviour. Lovely soft light with pastel colours, and the swirling water at the end of the rock takes this up a notch.

[Don Nelson]

Excellent environmental image with the wave coming around the rock. Bird is well exposed for the whites. Wish you'd caught it with a little less head turn, but its still a keeper.

Nice composition, with swirling water and the rock angle; I think I'd like a bit more contrast.

[Geir Jensen]

I've spent a lot of time in Lightroom to try to get it right. It was very bad light. Greyish light with little contrast.

This is awesome! I love the water movement and the way it's glazed that rock...yummy stuff!
Head angle is A-okay imo, as the peep is foraging. Way to commit to the low angle. You really
put us in the sanderling's world here.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

agree with Shawn's comments. well done getting low. The wet rock adds a lot here.

A tad bit room behind the bird might make it better.

[Clemens Vanderwerf]

Nice position on the rock and great tones. I would take a bit of the bottom and make the oof water strip a bit smaller. Would also remove the darker spot in the water.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Man this is cool!! Awesome swirl around the rock...fabulous! I'd trim away about 40% off the bottom row of water and I also agree with Clemens about the dark spot there too. All else looks great...very fluid image, lots to like!!

[Sidharth Kodikal]

A very nice image, for all the reasons already mentioned, Geir. I especially love the glaze on the rock and the swirl around it.
