Beautiful image Grace! I like the walking pose, low angle, exposure, sharpness, BG and composition.

[KK Hui]

Nice light and beautifully captured, Grace!

[Melissa Groo]

Just outstanding, Grace! Love those upturned toes, that sweet light, the angle of the bird toward us.

[Shawn Zierman]

Elegant walking pose with some really nice character in the forward foot. Such a cute
shorebird. Really, the only improvement that I could envision here is to have the bird
a bit further into the frame so as to include the entire shadow.

Love the walking pose with upturned toes and sand on legs,details,colors,lights and BG.

Wow!! Beautiful shot. I love the walking pose, lovely light, excellent details, great background, and nice shooting angle.
Very well done.

Striking image, Grace. Love the low angle presentation and the nice clean beach. Light, HA are perfect and I like the slightly raised foot.

[Craig Brelsford]

The previous commentators have stolen my thunder: I too appreciate your plover's pose and your skillful handling of the light and the details. Angle is low but could be lower.

Grace, sweet walking pose and adorable subject. Love it!

[Bill Dix]

All has been said. Love the walking pose, the light, the sharpness. Well done, Grace.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Cute, and of course the rising foot adds an interesting element. Good details, nicely exposed. I know it is minor, but that tiny bright speck on the white feathers could be a candidate for removal - my eye keeps going to it, but it could be me.

[Frank Schauf]

Beautiful portrait, great details, a great shot.

[arash_hazeghi]

Lovely image. Great light and like the upturned toes!
I also noticed that bright white spec on the feathers and would evict it,

One of my favorite little guys! Love that he appears to be strutting with great conviction. Great clean background.
