Cracking shot, I'd be well pleased if it was one of mine. I know it's picky, but the OOF rear is just a bit distracting to my eye however.

Pretty bird :cool:. Other than a touch more sharpening, I've no grumbles with this shot - BG is fine for me.

Gotta love beaches and dog walkers, and you've got to watch for the c**p too :mad:
