Love it Nicki. Great detail, nicely exposed and the gentle wave coming in in the background.

Hi Nicki Tell you a secret for these guys !!! Flat on the ground and wait for them !!! Will be crawling all over you !!!

I like the look back and space given to the right. Can brighten the image in general and would particularly work on the eye. For my shorebird images I pay particular attention to the feet an their position. I like the shape of the legs here and seem to add to the look of the bird !!!

Nicki,
I like your composition, It needs a little brightening...congrats...:)

[Harold Davis]

love the compo and the look back from the bird. there seems to be a bluish cast to the pic that can be corrected with a color balance. cool image!!!

[Nonda Surratt]

I really like the slightly open bill and the legs, look back is nice too!

everything covered.
