Hi Tim
I,m a sucker for close ups so say no more ! Lovely shot. The slight graduation in the BG helps too.
Good stuff

Good work Tim. Looks just a touch over sharpened for my taste but otherwise spot on. Regards, Ian.
Very nice close up and portrait. The detail is awesome, though I agree with Ian reg the sharpening.
Fantastic portrait.
Super close up, IQ and I love the light here. Well done.
Like John I'm a sucker for a well done close up and this one fits the bill. A bit oversharpened as posted, and I could see a version with more room above (maybe double the current amount), but I love the crop on the subject itself, the wet feathers, good light, and neat BG.
Beautiful portrait, lovely light, great detail and eye contact. If mine, I might give it slightly more room on top.
Nice portrait with wonderful feather details. Seeing a slight halo under the bill tip and agree with just a bit more room on top. Light is really nice! Sharon
I love shorebirds. How big a crop. Looks super-sharp to me. I am fine with the framing. Does not look over-sharpened to me. I do see the tiny halo on the base of the lower mandible but only when I tilt the screen so no fair on that :). All in all, excellente! What month and where?

Took this on the north shores of lake Erie on Aug 21 2013.
Thanks Tim. That is a mega-crop but IQ held up just fine.
