    Wonderful colors in this, and such a lovely sheen on the water, bird is very sharp and good eye contact, especially with a catch light, overall light/exposure is well controlled as well....nice !

    Lovey image, and I esp like the softness of the water and the light. Nice pose and low angle on the bird. Like the inclusion of the sand on the left and the water swirl. It all came together nicely. If I had one wish it's that the beak reflection were better.

    Lovely soft colors and very nice attentive pose. The little sand and water ripples add a lot. You must have been nice and close and very low as well.

    Hi Robert, you have captured a good angled pose, and seems like he is looking at you. The Sandpiper is sharp, and love the light and overall colours in the image.

    Very nice Robert.
    I like the low POV.
    I wish the little sand bar wasn't there but that is a minor point.
    Great HA and I really like the circular wake and the color of the water,
    Gail

    I also wish the sand bar was not there but still very nice, Robert.
    I think a bit more room above the bird would look nice.
