    Very nice image Graeme, the open beak nice HA and low perspective all make for a pleasing image.

    Lovely image with a nice low angle, good light and that open beak is a bit plus.

    Very sweet and as mentioned the open beak brings it to another level. Great work!

    A great pose and look back position.Nice light. Great low POV.
    I might crop a bit tighter from the top and left.
    I also see a little dust spot near LUC. I would soften the round brownish smudge just above the sand on the LHS of the bird about an inch in from the left.
    If not against your ethics I would evict the black blob near the bird's left foot.
    A really lovely shot,
    Gail

    Wow sweet image, i love the IQ all around
    the pose is right with a good HA
    BG is sweet , may be removing the dust spot will look better
    Open beak makes it more interesting

    Love the perfect head turn and open bill. Super nice low angle, and lots of wonderful details. Gail's tweak suggestions are worth exploring...
