    I was photographing waders on my local beach this evening, the light was fading quickly, I was about to walk home when this little guy swam onto the shore to dry off.

    Thanks for having a look

    William:

    I have not seen a juvi of this species, so I appreciate your post. Nice low POV, excellent angle in frame, like to be able to see the feet. Nicely framed for my tastes.

    Well done!

    Cheers

    Great low POV on this simple but effective shot. With the flat light I feel that a bit more 'punch' in PP might take it up a level

    I like the low angle, exposure, details, setting and composition. I agree with Mike's suggestion. Well done William.

    Appealing image with nice subdued lighting and perfect head angle. Despite the tall erect posture the horizontal crop works well with the long feet creating a nice square angle with the body. A nice bonus end-of-day surprise for you!
