You looking at me?

Another Pied Wagtail, these are usually constantly on the move, so was lucky this one stopped for a pose.

Good IQ and perky pose.
I would clone out the black dot above the eye if mine and warm the picture up very slightly to minimize the harsh light.
The scalloped edges on the breast feathers are nice as is the shadow.
A lower POV would have made this even better.

Liking the wide legged pose on this one

Never seen these on the beach in my area. IQ is good and like how the sand fades and becomes the background

Agree on the lower point of view

The two folks above my post beat me to my main critique - I would have liked a lover shooting angle. It just gives a more intimate feel to the image. That said I do like the shadow, and the good exposure and sharpness of this image.

Agree on the lower shooting angle but cute pose and spot on exposure and details.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

I like it as posted. The shadow and bird created some nice angles and design. A lower angle would have been nice too maybe allowing space at the tail and floor joint but I like this.

Thank you all for commenting, I was half way down a small sand dune when I spotted him & he spotted me so no lower POV for this one.

Thanks for explaining that, Joe. The sand is nice and clean, so it works as is.
