    Hi Manos,
    Good catch (you and the sandpiper)! I like the pose with the raised back foot. If it were mine, I would crop some of that oof sand from the bottom and maybe lighten it a little as on my monitor it looks a bit dark.
    Regards,
    Katie

    Nice one. Great low angle, background, and prey. Another vote for taking a bit off the bottom. (And maybe a small catchlight??)

    Nice one Manos! I think I would have set the camera to +1/3 or +2/3 for a shot like this, maybe a quick mask on the eye followed by levels would help lift the image a tiny bit. I would possibly recrop putting the bird a little lower and further over to the right.

    Nice soft colors in the BG and the walking pose and meal add to this. Agree w/ a tiny bit off the bottom.
