    Love the way he's negotiating the sahara-like setting, and the way the sand matches the color of his head. Wish he were angled just slightly toward us.

    Jonathan,

    Looks like he's being real careful with each step! Nice moment captured. Lighting is gorgeous.

    I might clean up the two or three lighter spots in front of him. A slightly more turned (toward the camera) head would have yielded an even better image!

    Another nice undulating ground here. I like the walking pose, sharpness, colours, comp. I realize it is likely an illusion due to one lower foot and the sloping FG, but you could rotate the image CW a bit. I also agree a slightly better HA would have been awesome. Still very nice, I like it a lot.

    Hi Jon, I do like your low shooting angle, and the dunlin is well exposed and nice and sharp - the feather detail shows up nicely. Love the form of the sand, and that the feet are visible. Well captured.
