Nice and sharp with good plumage detail. Looks a little angled away. Whites are't clipped but look to be lacking a little detail and would be a candidate for a linear burn - quick try at 35% brings a bit more detail up. Spending some time to clean up some of the plants pushing through the water is an option.

Good re-work by Peter with perhaps a few points too much on the Linear Burn. I had no idea that this bird in breeding plumage was so different from our Spotted Sandpiper.
