    Arash, very clean canvas with the packed sand.

    It's ineresting how long these guys really are, esp when hunkered down like that.

    Amazing look at the crab in mouth and super job with the subject completely in plane. I feel like going 16x9 could loosen it up a bit and fit the posture of the Whimbrel, but works as-is also certainly.

    Nice to view, TY.

    Lighting and details are outstanding, and the prey item adds behavioral interest. One consideration when shooting shorebirds on the ground is the position of the shadow. I try get an lighting angle so the bird isn't looking into it's own shadow, but that's not always possible and a really, really subtle point. I do appreciate the low angle!

    I like the repost even better - the complete shadow makes a world of a difference in this particular case.

    Great predation shot. The complete shadow in the repost helps a lot.
