I like this image the position and proportion of the bird in the frame works well for me. The DOF is spot on. This is a good image, colour looks good maybe just needs a slight bit more sharpening. (my opinion)
Great angle, pose, details and complementing BG, Agris. I would give it a bit more space at the top and place the bird a little bit further to the right in the frame. Keep them coming.
Very sweet. I like the placement in the frame. I would do a SH/H adjustment on the face and neck and the darker tones of the BKGR. I agree with Pete on the sharpening. I would use a Quick Mask to selectively sharpen only the face and the breat. All in all, well done. Plus, I love shorebirds. Later and love, artie
