    Hi David ... looks nice in terms of content .
    IQ has suffered too much due to the cropping . I would rather keep the subject small in the frame ..... before I do that pixel bashing . Just my take .

    TFS Andreas

    Hi David, nice plover on feeding on the mud flats. I admire your low POV. Agreeing with Andreas the large crop has impacted the image quality. Maybe try to find a pleasing composition without cropping as much. Thank you for sharing.

    There are lots of problems here but mee-thinks that they are fix-able. So I worked on the image. With a boxy crop you do not want the bird in or close to the middle -- in other words, there is too much room behind the bird in the original post. Thee washed-out look came from a lack of contrast. The image needed about 1/2 degree of rotation. After leveling the image I added and filled in the canvas and did lots of mud cleean-up.

    ps; I could have boosted the BLACKS and NEUTRALs a bit more (in Selective Color)...

    The low angle is right on. Also like the framing and the light.
