Hi G K (I guess that is what you go by??)
Welcome to NPN. I see this is one of your first few posts here. Looking forward to your participation in posting and commenting on the work of other photographers.
Nice moment captured with the bird feeding in the sand. I like the inclusion of the foam from a wave in the background. Looking at the larger version for more details, the bird isn't quite sharp. I think the composition would be helped by two things. A lower perspective is most always helpful with shorebirds. Might mean getting down in the mud, but hey.... anything for the image! I'd also crop to get the bird out of the center of the frame.

Very nice pose, and I like the line of the surf in the bg. I'd be tempted to reframe this a bit to move the bird more to the upper left 1/3 point (just a bit of a crop on the top and the left should do it). Welcome to the Avian Gallery. I look forward to your future posts.
