Really like the striding pose of the Whimbrel, and the soft colour palette works a treat. Nicely done, KC.

Wow, I'd love to get Whimbrel photo like this one! Hard to even see one around this part of the world. Nice light and setting.

Great light and nice perch. The muted colours work well here, with the fine detail on the bird.
Very nice!

Kwan, I like the striding pose particularly. Nice background and perspective and I think your comp works well.

I like the low angle and overall color scheme -- background looks very good

Nice sharpness, isolation of subject, position in the frame, non distracting background.

Love the stride, the bird looks intent on getting somewhere. Like the way all the colors harmonize.
