Soft color of the overall image is very pleasing. Pose is nice.

Hi David, beautiful bird, nicely shown. The soft light is really nice. I might have cropped differently, a 2x3 with more negative space in front of the bird, in Lightroom I work up different versions using Create A Virtual Copy. Thank you for sharing.

Nice pastel colors and nice exposure on the whites.
I would clip off the tail feathers before they exit the screen on the right.

Great soft colors in this one. Head angle is right on. Agree a 2x3 cop may work better here. The bird is nice and sharp.

Thanks Joe for your cropping suggestions. I have not yet even tried LR and may have to try soon. This is from the first evening and I was chasing this beauty up and down the beach. I finally decided to sit down and wait and he almost walked right up to me. So, as he got closer I went vertical to get the full length, sacrificing room to walk into. This is vertical with a little off the top and bottom for composition. All comments always welcome and appreciated...

Beautifully sharp and exposed. Love the swirl around the front leg and the boxy crop works well here (but for the clipped plume on the right ...)
