Worth a shot? On the golf course? That image scores yourself a birdie! Sorry, as a bad pun fan I just could not resist.
Nice low angle here, and I like the walking pose. A bit of debris on the bill tells the story of it foraging for food. Was the upslope of the ground natural? Either way you can try a version with the horizon straightened. You could also try a version with the bluish cast removed from the plumage. Good image overall. I just had a blast with a flock of about 100 birds surrounding me a few days ago...lots of fun.

Jonathan, very nice image, love the low shooting angle. Agreed on the CW rotation. Loi

Hi Jon, great low angle here, and I like the DOF effect in this. Im fine with the OOF FG, but would maybe take a bit off the bottom. Well timed to capture the raised foot, and the dirty beak adds interest.

Magnificent image, Jonathan. Very nice walking pose and beautiful colors.

Jonathan it's usually sand or snow never seen on a golf course, nice to see a bird with a few feathers out of place which is the way we normally see them and does give us a clue what the bird is doing, very nice different shot.

Very nice Jon. It's interesting what one can find in diverse venues.
I think if it were mine, I might crop a little off the left, and perhaps a little more off the right, to better emphasize your interesting subject.
BTW, why were you on a golf course? Did you have your camera around your neck while you were swinging a golf club? If so, did you get a birdie?

Thanks for the feedback and comments everyone, much appreciated. Yes I got the birdie, I forgot to mention an eagle and albatross also flew by
It was fro some reason a tricky one to process the sun was coming from the wron direction. I hadn't noticed the image was a bit cock-eyed nor did I notice the cyan, a little off the base helps and so does a tighter crop - so thanks again.

Not a bird I,ve done John but one day.
Agree about levelling and taking a bit off.
