    Nice light, and exposure control. The color temperature looks a bit high, and there is a little too much stuff on the beach for me: you might consider taking out the black rocks.

    Keep them coming.

    tons of detail, nice clean BG and i like the stuff on the beach. i would say running NR on the beach and rock in the right side again, Still a great shot well done.

    Looks a touch warm, but love the angle of view and leg lift! Nice work.

    I agree that it looks a little warm, I like the pebble and sand setting but would maybe trim a bit off the left-side.
    The face looks almost over-sharpened.

    Excellent angle and details Dean. I agree with the other folk's concerns.

    I like it a lot. I really like the contrast between the colours of the bird and the colours of the beach and stones. The raised foot also adds to the photo. My only suggestion would be to consider cropping out the oof bits on bottom and perhaps atad from top. Well done. Dave

    Excellent work Dean! I love the crop and habitat. No rocks too much for my taste. However, I feel the image could be a touch lighter. Thanks for sharing. :)
