Excellent, Matt. The eye contact is great and the string of bubbles the bird is standing in really adds a great touch to this image.

Good behavior shot. The reflections of the bill and legs add a lot.

Nice shot of this little guy, Matt. Not easy to get them still enough for a sharp photo. I like the low angle with a little surf and a nice reflection. North Beach is a great place when it's active. I'm hoping to be there in Jan or Feb and have a try at the shore birds.
Well done!
