very nice, I like the low angle ,details and the water drops. the blue patch in the ULC is a bit distracting.

I like this. Good low angle and HA. I like the dark BG but would clone out some of the specular highlights (The really bright one below the beak and the other one in front of beak). I am OK with the bright blue patch in LUC but if this was mine I would tone it down.

Thank you Gail. I respect that it is cloned off things, but one must be honest about it. I've tried a bit to clone, but for me personally it is wrong.
Best regards Geir Jensen

Hi Geir, super low angle, and I like how the sandpiper seems to be coming out from the darker BG. The droplets add interest, and sharp where it needs to be.

Gorgeous details and pose it really shows the environment that these birds live in.
