Hello Ian.

Very nice and your processing on this spot on giving the feeling of miserable weather but at the same time making a very pleasing image to look at.

Nice work.

That's a cracker. I might lose a little space from the top of the frame, but that does not detract from an excellent shot.

Ireland can be a bit miserable when it rain! You have got a very nice soft feel to the shot and what looks to be some small droplets of water/rain on the plover. Really like it.

I love this one Ian. Great composition, low angle of view, pose & soft light.
