Hi John As presented would crop tighter No need for that much oof foreground and would like seeing the Rudy larger in frame !! I see what you were trying to do with the position but might rather have the bird on the clean sand? Love the low angle !!!!
I wish the bird was not standing behind the object (horseshoe crab?) and I agree it could be bigger in the frame. Still nice that you got one in beautiful breeding plumage, and the low angle is very good!
Like the low angle John, but agree with the others about the object hiding part of the bird. Also, a little extra sharpening might help. Thanks for posting!
