I like the serene mood, morning light, angle and eye contact. Maybe a bit more sharpening of the bird?

Nice little semi-p, always good to have a leg in motion.

Hey Denise, you seem to have these guys sorted. Super low angle, and I like the softer light and colours. Another great image from you.

[Gal Shon]

I like the light, angle, colors and pose.
Agree with Axel regarding the sharpening. I would also tighten the frame just a little bit.

Hi Denise,

Super image ... beach scene w/seashells ... calm, peaceful setting ... water rolling in the faded out blue background ... partial plover reflection ... low angle ... low light ... looks like he is in deep thought ... strategic composition!

Thanks for sharing,
Tom
