Color looks natural - wishing for a better head turn -- just keep clicking as the head is on a turnstile and one of clicks will get him in profile

A Whimbrel is a cool find. Looks like the light was getting strong, but I like the setting and the exposure looks ok. You got just enough of the eye to make it work. Sharon

Peter,
I like the original post and the pose of the subject looks good to me. The framing choice is very nice to include all of the long shadow of the subject.

Peter,
Great catch. Agree with Scott about the head turn, but the birds only give you what you do, and we work with it. Of the two, my vote is for the second. Love the foreground around him.
