Nice shot Sandy, The full face looking at you is a different pose and combined with the one legged resting position makes for a view that is out of the ordinary. The detail looks good to me. Nice job on a hand held shot.

A lovely, well detailed shot, Sandy. This must have one of those "flat light" days. This has a nice feel to it, but I wonder if warming it a bit would improve it?

Looks like we were shooting in the same areas this spring Sandy. Nice job with this Snowy. Nice low perspective.

Great low shot. You must have been lying on the sand. Dedication, I like it.

Great eye contact you captured here Sandy. I like the texture visible in the plumage, nice perspective and excellent details.
