Great capture of the birds activity...agitated is right! Very sharp and I like the tongue showing the vocal activity to go along with the body language! Well done.

Nice shot Randy. Love the wing spread and awkward pose. You've captured the agitation all right. Looks sharp, and I like the look of the shallow D.O.F on the shells/sandy beach.

Good one.

All the best, gearoid

Love the posture of the bird set back and wings spread out. Well composed and right on with the DOF. I might try strengthening the catchlight ever so slightly just to make it easier to see the eye.
