Gorgeous picture of this sandpiper. Beautiful lighting, composition, focus, feather detail, eye contact, setting, and complimentary background. First-rate Josh!!!

Delia, The flower was actually growing there. There were three flowers in the group, but I cropped out the rest to get a closer view of the bird. He was feeding right through them so i upped the f-stop and wistled to him to get him to look up at the right time. Thanks for the kind comments.
