I am not really sure what to think of this photo. I like the spread wings, but I'm not sure if its really interesting. Let me know what you think! (Bad or Good)

Both graphically great and also a very nice study of the breeding plumage of subspecies hendersoni.

Excellent pose but if you were at ground level this would be great

Put my vote down in the "good" column.

I love the underwings detail of dowitchers, and they don't usually show it for more than an instant.

The only thing I wish for on this one is a lower shooting angle, but if you were at someplace like Radio Road, this isn't really possible unless you put on a wetsuit and immerse yourself.

Ben, beautiful wings-up pose, great to see the rich cinnamon breeding plumage. They also have an ornate patterning on their underwings, which is shown to good effect here.
