a nice shot Craig, although I wonder if it would benefit from having the bird lower in the frame with less space below it? Still nice as is.

Like it Craig. The water line makes the image look slightly wonky??

Nice one does look a bit 'wonky' though, I'm sure that is just an illusion..

Nice capture Craig: bet you got wet!!

On the comp I might be inclined to go the other way and move the bird towards the top of the frame: I find the smoothness of the foreground more pleasing on the eye than the waves/lines in the background.

nice sanderling, either move the bird up or cerop from the top, either way it adds drama to the image,
