Good timing with the breaking wavelet. love the raised foot. What date? This is a worn adult. The only thing that bugs me is that the bird's head is angled slightly away from the line of its body.

with love, artie

I like the pose and the gentle colour, details good. the raised foot with trailing water are a nice feature.

hi Joe ... neat little bird and I do like the ´action´and the beach scenery .
wish the iq would be better .... sorry to say that again .
large crop or something else that is causing the loss of fine details .

Hi Andreas, you are correct, small bird, large crop. I should have put on a teleconverter. Thanks for being honest, I truly appreciated that.
