    More shorebirds :)

    I have never been sure how to go about this one composition wise, should I add more at the bottom and center both the Bird and reflection equally?

    This is a pleasing, moody kind of image. The horizon looks a little bit off. Your eye on the bird needs to line up with the eye on the reflection. You had nice muted light and I like the colors here.

    Excellent colours, and I like the feeding pose. To answer your question, yes, I'd add a bit more below as the tip of the tail looks close to the edge. It does not have to be centered, but perhaps doubling the space below would be a good start.

    Lovely colours on this Ray and I do like the feeding pose,think it would look great with a bit more at the bottom.
