    Nice bird and light. And sharp. The bird is angled slightly away from us ... I think that a small crop from the bottom to eliminate the disconnected part of the reflection would improve this.

    Beautiful morning light. The sand/water looks slightly pixelated. I love the framing as is. TFS

    That sandy beak...

    The light is nice. I like the horse shoe shape that the water makes around the bird.

    Very pleasing image I like the pose and composition, having said that Artie's suggestion looks good to me.
