I captured this image along the beach at Alligator Point in Panacea, Florida. I was struck by how solid and large the legs and feet are, most likely from prying loose oysters and other food. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Good, solid image of one of my favorite shorebirds.
Excellent IQ and low POV.
I would crop a bit off the bottom to where the break in the reflection is.
TFS,
