Sorry for not commenting a lot lately, haven't got the time with all the godwits flying around here. Hope to find some time soon!! This was taken last week during my fieldwork. C&C always welcome.....

Great capture! I'd have liked to see a little more detail in the white areas, but I like the intensity of the image as presented. I like the pose & composition, as well as the rippledy background.
Awesome, love everything about this image, HA, the colors, details and sharpness are all impressive. I should say I dont like the white patch, but I like it even though you cant see, but should see some detail there.
