Nice image. Excellent time of day to choose with the perfect natural lighting. I also like the border choice. That one bird appears to be looking right at you as if he knew you were taking a photo and waiting on you to finish. The only thing I can offer as improvement is maybe crop a little more off the bottom to get rid of the brush on the lower left. 9 from me.

Very nice, the only 10 I give out this challenge and I love just about everything about it except that foliage in the lower left corner. Hope to see this close to the top or even on top.

The golden tones and contrasting poses of the birds makes this a winner.

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. It's a very lovely photo of birds.

No doubt that this is beautiful. Love the patterns in the sand and water and the footprints.

cool pic. I am going back through my votes now and upgrading most that didn't make the decision clear - I like this photo, great colors and cool outline on the subject!
