I hope it is too, but someone here will let you know if it isn't. I like how the bird stands out against the similarly colored background.Good choice of DOF!

Very nice light and color. Maybe just a little lower on the angle.

Doug, I like your choice of a pan but think I would like the bird not so centered vertically. Maybe less oof on the bottom and more on the top? Don't know if it's a Dunlin but hes's nice and sharp with nice light too.

Doug, I like the comp, but agree that a bit less on the bottom and more on the top would be better. The bird does look a bit soft to my eyes in the larger version, but it may just be too early on a sat morning for my eyes. Cheers.
