Hi Justin

Super image in great light - I think the colour of the wet mud/sand compliments the bird well. Cloaning out the OOF lump bottom right would improve the image and maybe a very, very small highlight in the top of the eye. That aside a very nice image!

Exellent image Justin. Love the colour of the BG, balances it well here. Whites are superb. The OOF rock draws my eye away from the subject though. :toast:
