This was taken in very bright evening light. I had been lying on upper tideline for about an hour and these Turnstones and Purple Sandpipers just got increasingly closer and closer. I realise it is dead centre but I like it nevertheless.

I like it. It is NOT centered. There is lots more room from the bill tip to the frame edge than from the tail tip to the frame edge. I like the splash and the swirly reflections by the feet. I would not go any larger in the frame.

Nice angle, details and I also like that the feet are submerged in water. It could go a bit brighter for my taste. While I like the wave in the BG, I might remove the brightest specular highlights.
