All the best to you too for the New Year, Rosl. These Cape Wagtails are very cute but often hard to catch as they seem never to stand still for very long. I would probably patch some of the dark spots on the beach - especially the OOF ones behind the bird.
Best for the new year Rosl! The light is a bit hars and I think that you can improve the image in PS adding more light to the eye. The heart is really cool.. I am tempted to paint it with a red colour in PS :-D
Harsh light, and yes, a big heart. Have a great 2009.
