Great stuff, David. Great light and the catch is an interesting bonus - I really like seeing the foot here, often missing in lower angle images of shorebirds. Lastly, I like the diagonal composition.

Great lighting, pose and colours David. You know my thoughts on the crop, so I won't say it :)

Not only a beautiful image .but has added interest from the fact that the sandpiper is doing something other than standing there and looking beautiful.Tiny niggle ,would like a little more space around bird,
Comments and critique welcome!
