Nick,

Looks like the sand was a bitt too hot for that Sanderling! Neat pose you captured there. Not sure I would change anything.

fantastic portrat, i would agree. I can't find anything I would change on it

[Grace Scalzo]

Tough light! I'd tone down the whites just below the wing. Love the emerging breeding plumage and cute pose, Nick.

Nick, I like the POV, the raised foot, great details & sharpness. Well done.

[Robert Holguin]

Great shot.
I really like the one footed pose and great shooting angle.
Very well done.
