Good for you Francis to keep your wits about you and get a sharp image as well as a good exposure. A very raw momentwell captured.

Nice behavioral shot with good detail. I found the foreground distracting and would go for a tighter crop on the bottom, wish for an angle more parallel to Falcon's head.

Awesome image. This represents well the main predator risks for shorebirds.
Very nice framing.

One of mother natures moments captured well. I can't tell what is in the foreground. Almost looks like a piece of plastic. I'd either crop or clone it out.

Raptor in the act of killing is not a very easily seen event, you have captured a great moment. Like the flapping wings, the foot on the waders neck and the merlin biting the prey's head..... typical falcon killing style. Congrats for capturing this behaviour.
