Superb shot overall Mike. The leg action adds to it.

Very nice, I really like the foreground water and the leg up makes the photo.
It really pops from the BG, very well done.

[Ron Sprunger]

Ditto everything above, and I love the light. Terrific.

I really like the colors in this image. Great leg up pose and as always- superb IQ.

Nice dreamy water and I like the raised foot too.

[Jim Crosswell]

Great image Mike! I like the exposure, sharpness, low angle and raised foot.

[Nancy Bell]

Outstanding! After admiring the clean, sharp details of the sandpiper, I really love the water/sand interplay of color and texture. The movement of the water plus the leg makes this so much more than an image of a white-rumped snadpiper!
