A Spotted Redshank taking a nice afternoon bath, so to say :) Found a couple of them during Autumn migration last year, so I spent two days up to my neck in the sea getting close. Fortunately the water was still moderately warm.
Beautiful!!! That is all I can say. Your efforts paid-off. It is simple yet a very attractive composition. Love the shade of blue... congratulations on a lovely creation!!!
I like the low angle and water droplets. I also like the comp, but would crop very slightly from the top and bottom. The position of the bathing bird is interesting, but doesn't do much to show off the subject.
