I like the framing too and the eye and the bill and everything else about it!

This is a great portrait. I might bump up the contrast a bit, it looks a bit flat to me.

A great shot David showing what looks like a double pupil.

David:

Excellent image. The irregular pupil is a genetic flaw very common in oystercatchers. I love the detail on the blacks. I am jealous, I still do not have a decent Oystercatcher picture on my files.

Thanks for posting.
