    Love, love the little island and the environment shown.
    Beautiful light. Little water droplets add a nice touch.
    The blacks seem a bit chocked up and I would play with levels or curves a bit.
    A lovely image Bill!

    Nice one, Bill. As Gail said, I love the little seaweed island. Thank you for sharing.

    I love the comp, and yes the "island" is quite the special piece of real estate!. I would have preferred the tail end of the sandpiper to be more parallel to the camera to also soak in some of that sweet light you had.

    Hi Bill a lovely shot of this little critter .
    I like the overall image in terms of color , tones , sweet light and comp .And on top you have that " little his island " .

    I just think the bird is not that sharp and i am missing some fine detail in the plumage .

    TFS Andreas
