Hi LeeAn, Love the way the wet sand casts this little bird's reflection. Love how smooth it is! I also like the action of the sanderling feeding with the gentle foam behind it. This tells a very nice story. You can almost here the soft gentle waves come in. Great entry for the reflection contest with wonderful lighting and focus! Good Luck in the contest! :o) Nancy

This is a beautiful shot of the bird. You timed it well, and the light, shadows, reflections, colours, and composition worked well. Good effort! Good luck!

I am in Greece for a 4 weeks holiday with a poor Internet connection, but when I have time I check in to see what happens. This means that I won't write long reviews.

I have nocmments at all to this lovely photo. Everything is perfect Lee Ann, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A good looking image presented here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition gives us an enjoyable view of that hungry bird and its nice morning location. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

I love the sandpipers and all the shore birds! They are so much fun to watch !
Here the charm is in that reflection ! It's as if this little bird is admiring itself!
Well placed over on the right, nice focus and clarity, I like the soft lighting and pale tones on the surf and sand.
Colors and tones appear natural. Well composed and presented!

I love the scene per se. It is so refreshing to view this tide and the sanderling foraging on the shore. Clarity of reflections in the smooth water. Great lighting, angle, and framing placement. This is a joy to view.
