Western Sandpiper in flight

[Lorant Voros]

Here is a flight picture of the sweet little bird from my last post. I removed a part of another bird from the lower right corner. This time following the advice I used Bicubic Sharper to resize the image, so I hope I am not loosing the detail, though with this I added some blown spots that I normally didn't have. Comments, PP and other suggestions are welcome.

Excellent detail and BG adds to texture ,Might add a little to the top But overall real keeper.

Very cool capture. I like the sharpness, wing position, BG and eye contact. I might lighten the eye a tad.

Super PP Lorant, looks good to me.
I like the detail, comp and colour.
BG works well.
