Seems like I only make it here on the weekends. I took this one last Sunday I believe and just got around to it tonight. It's the first time I've personally seen one and was really excited as I find these one of the prettiest shore birds. I'm not completely crazy about the BG/FG and wish the focus was a little better around the head, still I like this image and hope it's O.K. Thanks for looking. All C/C welcome.

Hi Brian, Good low angle here, well exposed with lovely colours. I feel another round of sharpening on the little guy would work, and I would maybe crop about half off the bottom. Darkening the BG a tad could work too. Just a thought.
Hi Brian,
Agree with above suggestions and I would also smooth out the blotchy bits in the BG. Love that the colours of the stones echo those of the bird.
Best,
Nicki
