Nice - plenty of contrast to help the subject standout from the background.

I like how the power lines give natural lines to the composition. Kind of like training the eye to lines it doesn't know its following.. :)

You remind me that placing a subject in the right part of the frame creates a pleasant viewing experience. Competent photographic images induce the viewer to be relaxed - whether they know anything about photography or not.

A bird yes, but this shot has so much character and interest because of the rocks and soft texture of the sand with the birds graining coat. Looks almost as if he is posing for you as he dances in the sand. The tones are perfect from the dark rocks to the soft white feather. I love it, can you tell?

Nice light and details on the bird. Love the patterns produced by the stones in the sand. IMHO I wonder whether this should have been your bird main challenge entry.

I like the pose of the bird, very gentle. Good capture.

Trying to work out which photos look best in colour or black and white is half the battle between failure and success I think - and something that I haven't yet mastered. This is one that works extremely well in BW. The tonal range is excellent, and the sandpiper (?) stands out well from the lovely striated sand. All in all, excellent work.
