    Lovely image Frank
    Great details and the framing looks great
    (is there a slight rotation required)

    Thank you,

    maybe a little. I'm not sure, the sand had some inclination.

    Looks level to me. A nice sharp image that is perhaps over-sharpened just a tad. Like the open bill and the prey item. If it were mine I would do a bit of beach clean-up. All in all, quite a nice capture.

    Very nice image Frank. Nice placement in the frame and details in both blacks and whites. Well done.

    I like the light in this shot. Nice foraging pose as well. Excellent IQ.
    I would crop a bit off the bottom, do a very slight CCW rotation and clean up the beach.

    Thank you.

    Here is the edited version. Less sharpening slightly rotated and cleaned the beach.

    Either version works for me. I enjoy the low angle work and the light quality that allowed for good details in the blacks and whites of the bird....spot on exposure work on your end of course. The action/foraging pose captured is nice.
