We had another high tide with intermittent good light so off to the beach PDQ - all C&C welcome.

Hi Jon, good low shooting angle, and a nice HA from the Dunlin. The layers of feathers show up very well, and I do like the blues and browns of the sand and water mixing together.

I like the setting, raised foot, sharpness, HA and BG. I would be tempted to take some off the bottom to just above the OOF grass on our left and some off the top to create a pano crop but that is my personal preference. Well done Jonathan.

One of my favorite shorebirds (or waders) species. I like the head turn and raise foot. Neat grass on the beach. If mine I'd come up from below to hide the thin strip of sand below the oof grass in lower left.

Spectacular image, Jonathan.
Very nice look back pose, colors and composition.

Thanks for your comments everyone, (I did consider a slightly tighter crop as suggested - maybe I should have done!)
