Oyster Catcher Landing

[Troy Lim]

Shot this today, sun was directly behind me but this OS was landing on the left side, @ 10 o'clock angle.
Not sure if this is considered a good or bad angle. I am just so thrilled as this is the first OC that I shot.
I may have over-sharpened the picture a bit, how does it look to you?

Comments and Critiques are welcome!

Looks great against that dark BG, Troy. Whites look good but a linear burn may bring a bit more detail into them. Eye and bill against the B&W really leap out.

Tony, thank you very much for the tip.
I did not even think about using bring to tone it down a bit.
Really appreciate it.
