    Default Shrimp Buffet

    At low tide these guys literally had a shrimp buffet at the lagoon. For this shot I wish the shrimp in the beak was separated from the other debris. Let me know what you all think.

    I like the action aspect and the exposure and blurred background as excellent. I would probably crop off the bottom of the image because it doesn't really add to the image. I might crop a bit of the right side for the same reason and to line the beak and eye up a bit more with the thirds to make the composition a little stronger.

    Nicely exposed image with good DOF. I agree with the composition suggestions made by Ian. I notice some white specks all over the image... Is that something on the lens??

    Bhushan, I like the low perspective, and I would leave your comp as is. I would just like to see this full size. Lovely light and you have the exposure spot on. Regarding the separation of the shrimp, I would leave that as is too, as its part of the feeding behaviour, with him pulling the shrimp from the water.

    I love the drops of water have been frozen and are suspended mid-air. I might trim off half of the brownish layer at the bottom of frame.
    The light on the bird looks great.

    I too like the image as is as far as composition. Great exposure of the whites and I like the feeding behavior shown here.

    Guys,thanks a lot for all the comments and critiques. All points noted.
    Rohan, the white spots you see all over are actually water droplets frozen in mid air as noted by Chris.
