Hi Kim, you weren't with Craig N were you?

Love the pose & comp, with good detail and you have held the whites very well.

A very nice image Kim. Nice head turn and catchlight in the eye. I have taken to lying flat recently but cheat and use a mat as I hate getting wet

Lovely shot in very nice settting. Fine composition and a nice low point of view. Well worth getting wet for.

Really nice setting for this Sanderling. The lighting and comp work well

A low POV and a very interesting composition, with the bird on an attractive rock, makes this image
well worth a view and a comment. Well done.
