Oh yes, I like this one Guy!! The excellent dof gives it a lovely 3D effect. Very nice indeed.

This is excellent! I like the setting in particular, showing the habitat. Detail on the bird (and mussels) is great.

That Bg is perfectly Oof for me. It tells us everything about the environment, but still enhances rather than interferes with the subject.The subject is great, but it is the bg and the mussels on the fg rock that make the shot IMO.

Agree here with Eric and others.. The detail and colours in the legs and plumage of the bird really make it 'pop' against the dark, mussel encrusted rockbeds.. Truly a super image of a bird in it's environment.
