This is fantastic John. Exposure and detail are great across the bird, and the color in the sunlight is so nice. He could probably deal with a bit more at right and below if you have it. Background is nice and soft. Any reason you were at f/9? Insurance to make sure you got focus across the bird? Trying to get the rock? I would have shot this wide open to get the smoothest possible background. But it hardly matters here, this result is really nice.

A classic Barnegat profile. Nicely done. Good detail, as Dorian points out. If I were being really picky I might suggest lifting the shadows just a tiny bit, and perhaps brightening the iris, also a tiny bit. But just fine as posted.

Another nice one. I love that chestnut patch on the flanks - awesome texture to the plumage there. Good job with the whites too.

I'm fine with there framing. Techs excellent. The waves in the background are less than ideal but I know that it is rarely if ever calm there ...
