    Very sweet bird, lovely light and BG. I like the fact that the whole shadow is there. Looks as though it is standing in a little spot of warm light.

    I also like the little "island" of light.

    Nice golden light Axel. Cute little fella...the legs stand out nicely against the sand and shadow.

    A beautiful clean image, and the subtle spotlight on the sand is especially nice.

    Lovely low angle captured here Axel, and well exposed too. I also like the DOF, together with the OOF BG. Well done.

    The smoothness of the ground and the soft light on this bird makes this picture stand out.
