Very good low angle. sharp and eye contact, well done Vivaldo.

Great low angle, sharpness, prey item is a nice bonus. Nice smooth BG. I was not there to know for sure, but the image seems to be quite cyan overall. I tweaked the colours via "Colour Balance" (added reds and yellows to taste), the reduced the cyans in the whites via Selective Colour.

Lovely little plover Vivaldo and nicely caught feeding. Agree re the cool cast and I like Daniel's colour correctios - it now really pops.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the low angle, setting, sharpness and BG. Daniels repost is an improvement. Well done Vivaldo.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Thanks everyone. Daniel thanks for suggestion, I do like the warmer colors in your version. I will try set a slighty warmer WB in future, hope that will help.

Great low angle and a neat bird. I like Daniels repost.

[Ivan Ellison]

As above the re post shows him off better. Really sharp on the haed and the little red worm looks great. Nice low POV - really makes a difference with waders. A good loooking bird.
