I like the angle, sharpness, fluffed-up pose and the BG looks very cool. I only wish the rocks wouldn't block part of the bird.

I really like this image alot. Fantastic details and a nice fluffed up pose. BG is gorgeous! Beautiful light. I only wish the rock wasn't in front of the bird.

[Brian Barcelos]

I agree with Axel and Denise, have to add that I love that BG. Looks like sun rays coming off the Plover. Congrats

Nice color.
Bird looks stoned!--just kidding

[Jeni Williams]

I love the bird's pose and fluffed up feathers, might be inclined to clone out the brs rock and then crop a little tighter on the right to get subject out of centre.

This is lovely image with great light , BG , HA and details
Agreed about rock

Nice image. This is the case when too low perspective is distracting a bit. Fg stones covers important part of the bird. Anyway the details are really nice. Might lighten a bit.

I love the light, beautiful colors, sharpness, angle and HA.
If only the FG (especially the big rock) wasn't there...
