A little too central for me, I would like to see the bird a little more to the right of the frame. Otherwise a great shot, and I really like the low angle.

Really like this Andy, I think the background is beautiful (but then I do like brown!) and great detail on the bird, and the catchlight is the icing on the cake! :)

The comp works for me as is, Any further to the right and i think the tail will be too close to the edge,The shoulder whites are a little hot (could be my laptop screen) but apart from that its a nice image with good light and complimentary colours, I tried to get these tiny suckers last week and failed

Lovely shot, great background. Really like the pose with one foot raised, well caught. Regarding the comp, I would tend to agree with David that it is a bit too central, but rather than having the bird further to the right, I think taking a section off of the bottom would sort it out as the image seems a little 'tall' for a landscape...

Anyway, great shot! :toast:

Nice Dunlin image, Good pose, nice details. I do like how the bird is stood on the bit of exposed sand.
