I spotted a sandpiper.

[Don Anderson]

Not really, he was already spotted. Only he doesn't have spots, so
should we still call him a spotted sandpiper?

and ratty old bogen.

I don't usually like bussy BGs but in this case, and don't ask me why, I like the image, the scene is nice, the pose, light, it looks very nice.
Congratulations!

How about the serenity here? I quite like it! Nice pose too as it is looking up. Is this cropped large?

My monitor is only showing it as a thumbnail size image, so cannot comment?

Don, Fine image, I like the woodsy feel imparted by the moss and plants. Wondering if you have any in this series where he's not looking up?

David, I had to click on the thumbnail to see the full version.

I sized this image 7x5 at 120 dpi. under 200K I don't know why it has to be clicked on to
see the full sized image.
Update: I removed a comment on the image, and the smiley faces and now it shows up OK.
I'm adding a second image by request to show the head up more. But its soft in the head and
rear foot.
