Really nice composition. Nice gentle colours and a nice soft arc stretching away across the screen with an ideal amount of DoF.

Very relaxing.

What a delightful shot. The waves form a lovely gentle diagonal across the picture cutting it into two portions - land and water - then along comes this elegant wader who both literally and metaphorically strides between the two sections.

Lovely lighting and colours with a nice crisp focus.

ps is it just me or does the eye look much to big for it's head ? Maybe that's because (as it's name suggests) it's a night bird and so needs to capture all the light that it can.

Grass of any kind is difficult to photograph well up close. Your experiment worked nicely, as the shallow DOF at 1.4 makes the foreground detail show nicely while getting that warm fuzzy feel deeper in the image. The light must have been early or late to be able to shoot at 1.4 and 350.

I love those grasses. I betcha they're really hard to photograph well. I think you've done a good job here.

What a beautiful shot, I'm glad you finally managed to capture this bird! I'm going to say though, I'm not sure if I like the border =(

Gorgeous bird, and congrats on finally capturing a rare subject and doing it justice. Bet you were over the moon when you got home and brought this up and were sure the shot was as good as it looked on the camera's preview screen :-)
