Very nice image, Joe. The bird, his pose, and that gorgous bed of seasweed that he is standing on are perfect. I could see a version with a little more space around the bird and might give the head just a tiny bit more sharpening.

Thank you for the critique Grace, I have sharpened the head of the bird a tad.

Wonderful portrait of this young Plover. I love the colors and textures of the seaweed. Your exposure, details and IQ are very good. Nice work.

Awesome perch, good BG, and perfect head angle on the subject. Well exposed, and nice details. I'd be tempted to punch up the saturation just a bit more.
