A nice, classic shot of one of my favourite waders. It does seem a bit contrasty towards the front of the head, the whites are on the verge of being blown in places, would it be possible to tone it down a little and bring out a bit more detail in that area?

if I was to be very picky Andy I'd like to see just a touch more space on the left, but it's still very nice as it is. Exposure looks good to me, though I might be tempted to dampen some of the reflections on the black bill. They're full of character these birds :smile:

A fine specimen, nicely portrayed. The strong light has made it a little contrasty, but I like it a lot.
