This is a really nice image Richard. I like the setting at the edge of the water, the colors, lighting, details are great, and the catchlight and orientation of the Sanderling coming at you are really good. Mine are always running away . . .

Very well done, Richard. Your low point of view really works to put us in the frame with the bird. The excellent head turn it gave you is the icing on the cake.
