This fellow was eating small crabs nonstop, however I don't think I have one with a good crab detail, I liked the BG seafoam that the waves threw on the rock outcroppings behind him.

EXP, SH good. And the sea foam adds. The problem is that the bird's head is angled away from us. Towards us a bit would be ideal....

Nice pose other than the head angle. I like the foreground, but I can't make out what it is.
Great capture! Nice details and exposure! I agree that the head angle could be a little bit better.

I love the perch with shells and also the foam particles...I also wish the head was turned towards us. TFS

A very nice wimbrel.
The place where it is standing depicts its habitat and I also like the pose of the bird. HA has been mentioned. Agree that the foam blobs add to the picture and I think you forgot to include the exif.
It's a nice clear shot Douglas with even light and wonderful action!
Man, a better head angle would given this image a 10 out of 10! Love the "perch", and that blue BG is very appealing.
What a fantastic perch and the seafoam is cool...glad you included it. As for the head angle...per chance do you have one in your series where he is not looking away?
Not with the foam
Different head position here at 'MUSSEL BEACH'
WOW! I think I like this more than the foam. Definitely crop the blue off the top and if you have more room, I'd compose it somehow other than square. I think this is really a fun image, totally different than anything I've ever seen.
Beautiful! Love the setting -- the seashells, the foam, the blue BG. Agree on the head angle.
While the mussels are interesting and the head angle is perfect for this pose I am not a fan of looking down at the bird and I find the BKGR distracting. Sharp with a good EXP.
