Looking To Fight

[Joe Senzatimore]

This sandpiper was all puffed up and looking to fight over it's section of the beach.

Joe,

I like the posture of the bird and head angle is good. I like how the foam rings him. I like the very open presentation. Bird appears a bit soft - a tab more sharpening may be needed but do it selectively. Nice work.

[Alfred Forns]

Agree with Robert and would suggest cropping a little from the top !!! Love how you worked the foam into the image !!!

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the pose and open bill. I agree regarding cropping a bit off the top and might remove the specular highlights on the right.

[Rich Ikerd]

I like the composition Joe, small bird against the big world - tells the story very nicely.
