Oyster Catcher

This bird was looking for food on a wave washed shore line.

I love the painterly feel. Good profile pose with the leg up (bummer about the band, though). The pebbles on the ground are very cool! That incoming crashing wave is quite impressive - do you have more of it above to include?

[Glennie Passier]

Love the bird and the rocks and the waves are so complimentary to the rocks. Another worm view! Beautiful POV.

TFS!

David agree with Dan if you have a bit more at the top that water looks great, I like this it all fits very well together and the Oyster Catcher really pops!

This one needs a place on the wall, it would make stunning print. Well done.

Hi David, lovely low angle, and I do like the pose with the raised leg. Thats an interesting colour to the water, obviously sand mixed up with the crashing wave.

[Mike Poole]

I love to see some environment in shots and this is a lovely example. I'd even suggest more of the wave if you have it available.

Bird, rock an of course the incoming crashing wave is a real good composition.
i like it very much.

Yes all been said but this is a real wall job. The way the water has separated the bir is great. Love the pebbles too. Well done David
