    Hi Mike, Calling pose is especially nice and I so love the bed of shells. Rim lighting is also nice and I am guessing that the brightness in his eye is from reflection off the sand? In any case, it gives life. I do see a loss of image quality from your crop and feel that it's a bit tight in the frame, maybe give him a little more room and solve both? I also like the baby blue background, fitting for a little one.

    A vertical would have worked nicely. Love that open bill!

    I like the calling pose, angle and eye contact. I agree with Fabs that a vertical might work, too, or alternatively, give it more room at the top.

    Another vote for a vertical but otherwise this is great. Lovely low angle and pose.
