A foggy morning in Rhode Island. This Sanderling was keeping up with the crowd, hopping on on leg, it had great balance. PS adjustment and crop.

Well exposed, detailed subject, looks sharp, but hard to see the head. Perhaps a bit underexposed. Head turn obviously not ideal. I like the angle and foreground stones/shells, but these elements are too distracting in the background. I think there's a bit of noise in the background as well. I think could also use a bit of CCW rotation.
I like the idea, but I would have shot the bird facing the camera...
The other day I ran into a similar Sanderling around here.
Initially it was resting with one leg tucked in and then started
hopping on one leg too. I did a search and apparently this is a
common behavior on these birds.
