This was taken around 6 PM in afternoon when sun was still shining bright and my recent switch to Manual mode ensured I get right exposure and avoid any burnt whites.
This was unusually crowded evening at beach and all the piping plovers were hiding/resting in their protected nesting site.
Birds were at a far distance from where light angle was right but with 700mm I could make some acceptable images.
Hope you all like this one. C&C welcome.

Hi Sachin, excellent low perspective, and I like the HA of the plover. The feather detail is there, but feel you may have extended the IQ with the large crop. Love the colours in the BG.

Good to see that you got low for this one. Your BG is gorgeous and you have a nice head turn. It appears you did well with the conditions.

Yes, beautiful BG, and resting pose. I wish the bill was cleaner, and I'm with Stuart in regards to IQ. There is one highlight speck that I woulod get rid of on a FG rock.

Thank you everyone for the kind words...It is indeed a big crop but IQ looked fine to me when I started processing this one...I will check this again and see if I missed something.

Very nice shot. Great low angle, excellent head angle, and wonderful background.
Well done.
