A different Purple sand shot from the norm,Like it a lot,the orange on the bill and feet real jump out against the softer surroundings.

Cheers

Doesn't quite work for me, as the bill does tend to blend into the vegetation. I also would consider cloning out the two highlights in the B.G. which alighm with the "rock".

still an excellent capture/shot.

I like this marek very purple SP perhaps a tighter crop would help

I like your image very much.

I like the pose of the SP and the colour and form of the seaweed.

The only thing I may tone down is that bright triangle at the top right of the frame.

Regards

Great shot.
Agree with A.R.D. about the white spot.

I like it. It shows the bird well and yet still has enough habitat in it to show the environment.
