i would say this is the art to capture such a perfect way. congrats on the master piece for me :)
Killer wing stretch and sharpness. The bird is angled away from you just a hair and the light looks a bit blue, yet still a fabulous image. Warming it up a bit might be an option.

lovely image and great pov
Beautiful wing stretch (not to mention exposure, comp, background, sharpness), on my favorite shorebird. Very nicely done. Congrats.
i like this very much, nice angle, nice background
This is terrific...perfect shooting angle with the perfect wing stretch. Exposure spot on. TFS.
Beautiful...I'm sure I have seen the very same bird:D. Desoto is a great spot and I go often, mostly chasing that Reddish Egret. What time of day/morning?

The light was beginning to get ever so slightly harsh but I find the water and sand acts well as a reflector to fill in some shadow areas.
Thanks all for the comments.
Artie, I will check the file, adjust the color balance a bit and re-post.
Excellent work.
Congrats on getting a full wingstretch like this! I like your exposure here, the low angle and bg.
