Hi Tim, sweet image and I imagine espcially satifying since it a very rare specimen. My only suggestions to improve would be to remove the sparklies off the leg & beak and maybe consider cropping little more off the bottom to remove more of the lower RH OOF rock thats "in ya face" a little..
Well done.

Tim:
Excellent image of purple sandpiper in beautiful spot light.Love the pose with nice HA,nice colors and details.
Agree with Don regarding the highlights on leg.Would crop bit on the bottom.

Satish.
Great find and an excellen picture. Nice angle, eye contact and sharpness.
I like the pose and the lighting very much. I would suggest perhaps reducing the crop a little to make the image a little more like 3:2 ratio, the bird is a little large in the frame for me.
I'm drooling right now.....gorgeous frame!
I like the play of warm and cold going on between the colors in the rock and the wonderfully rendered water bg.
A 9 of 10 for me, only because the toes of the bird's right foot are partially hidden behind the rock....you know,
one of those things that only bird photographers noticeThis would be a "holy grail" bird for me. To capture
the species in such great light, composed so well, would leave me satisfied for quite some time.
I would also loosen the crop but this is a really attractive bird and the light and perch are very nice.

I really cant see much to improve upon, maybe a slightly wider aspect, but I myself like it filling the frame. Wonderful clarity and sharpness, and all the colors work in very nicely together......very nicely done particularly for a rarity

lovely pose and details here.
