    I like your idea of keeping part of the rock into the frame to show the bird´s habitat but I am one of those who are going to say "crop it more" :-D The reason is very simple, the bird is very centered on the frame and croping a bit from the bottom and the right you will get the best of both worlds. That is: 1) to keep part of the habitat in the frame and 2) to improve the composition.
    I like this kind of soft light and the bird facing to the left. :-)

    Agree on the crop suggestion, on the right side. The bird looks good with plenty of detail and the silvery water is a great backdrop.

    I too agree about the suggested cropping . Love the fresh composition and pose of the sandpiper with wonderful head turn and great eye contact. Congratulations on a fine image Christopher.

    Excellent exposure on the sandpiper Chris, and a lovely pose captured. Moving him to the right would enhance this comp.
