    Nice pose, and low angle. The bird looks good amongst the shells. I like the exposure and detail you've gotten in the feathers.

    Good job, I like the red eye, the coulors and the shells. You could do some more sharpening to bring up some details on the head and eye.

    Hi Ofer, I like the bird, habitat, and colours...but I find that your usual high IQ standard is not as good as usual here. Perhaps a resizing/posting issue...

    I really like the inclusion of the habitat.

    As a suggestion, I might tone the legs down a bit and remove some highlights from the bill.

    Nice look back pose and exposure on the blacks.

    excellent shot Ofer, love the head angle and great exposure on whites, feather detail look just a bit coarse maybe resizing or sharpening issue, otherwise perfect.

    Great looking species and habitat, I guess those are some kind of snails? Love the eye and pinkish feet. TFS

    Hi Ofer,
    After reading the other comments, I thought I had better do a little research on the leg colours.
    I did, and they look spot on.
    Very nice photo.
