A very unconcerned redshank from a recent mud wallowing expedition. They do blend in with the background well don't they.

Yes the bird complements the mud very well. A great survival stategy! Excellent POV.

Yes, I like the composition too. I do wonder if it is just a tad light - but it could be my monitor.

I love the composition on this one Dave; the diagonal leads directly into the bird in a graphic way. Also you have succesfully created an impression of the birds environment ie a creek, in miniature...yes I really like it.

Nicely composed shot Dave

They do blend in well dont they, I agree with David that it looks a bit light
