Taken over the weekend. After a lot of rainy days, shore birds are showing around a lot more here. Still was raining a bit when I took this shot and needless to say I was flat on the ground for this one and got up very dirty :)

Awesome image Raybel. Love the background, the low POV and the excellent pose. Also really like the reflection in the water. I am just wandering whether you could possibly brighten up the bird a bit and add a tad more vibrancy... just a thought. TFS
Thank you both for the great suggestion. I was kind of thinking the same thing of giving it a bit more punch, since on a cloudy day and no much light usually the image are bit flat. I wil try both suggestion and hopefully enhance the image.
Great looking frame and I like the pose with the raised foot and the BG looks nice too. Techs and details look good and I agree with the others that a bit of a boost in saturation and or contrast would add a bit more pop to the Image. Well done

Excellent image here and I am OK with the contrast and colours as is, but I can see that a tweak there can help too. I really love the grass here - way cool! My only suggestion would be to add back a bit of canvas below if you have it...my reasoning is that as is the foot's reflection is skimming the edge of the bottom of the frame. A bit of a gap between it and the edge would strengthen the comp IMO.
