Good perspective on the running fella, and I like the sense of motion. Nice light and details. BG looks good but you could get rid of the darker spots at left. The whitest area on the leg and lower belly is bordering on hot, you could tone it down. A bit tight at the bottom IMO and Is the bit of smudge on the sandbar (in front of the foot) a result of processing?

Is repost better?

Geir, excellent low angle and running pose. gorgeous light. really liked this one. there is some opportunity for minor cleanup in the water. Nevertheless, an awesome shot.

Repost works much better. You have great details in this bird and I like walking/running pose. Agree with Daniel on some minor clean up.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Great low angle and running pose. I love the position of the feet. I agree with some beach cleanup left side and the funny dark areas on the left water

[Mark Itol]

Great light, shooting angle, and detail and I like the sense of motion shown. The repost works better though personally I feel like wanting a little more room at the bottom.

[Ofer Levy]

I also like the repost but would add some more room on the right as the bird is coming from there and going to the left.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Yep, repost looks better. Thanks for the raptor analogies guys!!

Hi Geir, getting down low here and worked well, and I like the coming towards you running pose. Light and colours are good, and your repost has turned out for the better.
