Superb Denise,
Low angle, reflection, catchlight, dark uniform background. I could go on and on.

Hi Denise, I like the setting, and good placement of the sandpiper. pretty good reflection, and I like how you have included the grass. An opportunity well used.

Denise:

Well captured, nicely composed, good shooting angle,excellent reflection. The spit of green grass adds to the image.

Would be interesting to capture this same setup with an all water background, but still with the little spit of green.

Very nice.

Denise -
Great composition, lovely symmetry/balance and like how you controlled placement of the muddy flat/water interface.
Although the soft light adds to the image, i might have tried to get a little more detail out of the whites ( especially the neck area)
Very nicely done
