I like the pose, water drops, perch, algae and gripping foot position. Nice image Bill.

The soft defused light has created a striking image, Bill. Like the grabbing stance on algae covered rock, detail, and ocean spray drops on back. Reflection and catch light in eye wonderful.

Nice close shot of this Piper and one I have yet to see. Like the detail and the beads of water on it's back. The mossy rock adds a neat element to this one. Well done Bill

Droplets, sharpness and mossy rock are wonderful. Quite a precarious perch which adds immensely to the image. Not an easy bird to photograph with their constant moving, and your image here is superb.

Spectacular image, Bill Sir.
Very nice pose, nice details and composition. Love the water droplets on the him.

Nice pose and IQ Bill and I like how you caught the sandpiper as it is preparing to leap to another rock. Fine job!

Thanks everyone. Yes, Ashleigh -- if you've ever been out on the jetty you'll know that the algae-covered rocks can be very slippery.
