Good composition using the diagonal line of the wings, and I like the incoming pose with the feet extended down. Nice work, Andrew.

Well, let's see more! Welcome back with this fine landing pose. Nicely placed in the frame and lovely wingspread.

Interesting bird and nice landing pose. I like the texture of the sand adding nicely to the image.

Andrew, wonderful incoming shot, great to see those extended feet anticipating the landing. Love the bird's body dynamics and the texture of the sand & water at low tide. A very nice 'in the moment' capture!
