A few of the godwits still around on the Sth coast of N.S.W of Australia and most have gone on their journey back to Europe
this one had missed its ghost shrimp dinner in the first go

I like the feeding behaviour and the food item flying out. Very nice details, and the colours are just right. Some CW rotation would be good as the horizon looks slanted, and I'd remove the few specular highlights in the FG for a cleaner finish.

Beautiful color and detail on this fine shot. Exposed perfectly and I like the water BG. Yes to some rotation. Well done

Magnificent image of godwit with nice exposure. I like the pose,colors,details and very nice BG.
Agree about CW rotation.

That is a pretty cool image. Exposure and details look super. You have a nice low angle. Rotation already mentioned. Love seeing the prey like this.
