    Bob:

    Beautifully exposed. Sharp, I like the angle in the frame, the grain in the sand with the diagonal streaks that echo the angle of the bird, the faint water lines that do the same. Foot up pose nice, nice eye level view.

    I might be tempted to add just a smidge of canvas to the front and top. It is nice as posted, I just feel the bird bit scrunched, makes me want to crouch!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Super angle on the bird here. Also feel its a tad squashed but still a pleasing image for me!

    The low angle works here, and love the raised foot off the sand. Colours look well exposed too.
