Very good feel to this image Sandy. Love the foam it really adds IMO.

I like this Sandy but the image is lacking some pop for me . Maybe some more contrast? Not sure. The eye looks funky too . Is that the eyball or the membrane we are seeing. I like the raised foot and bubbly foamy water as well as the soft bg and low angle.

Sandy, love the composition and the low POV with the foaming water which gives a sense of movement. I looked for your reflection in the eye on the larger image. Great techs as usual.

Lovely shot Sandy.
Maybe a bit more space left would help, but no big deal

The foam around the feet makes the image for me.

Excellent Sandy, I love the colors of the bird against the beautiful soft colors in the water.

Wonderful shot of the plover and I like the overall composition with the foam adding something different, well done.
