Great looking banking pose Binu. The HA and eye contact look perfect and the techs and feather detail are very nice. Sweet capture!

Wonderful pose and a spot on exposure
difficult to get plovers in air in this position making it special
HA looks wonderful

Hi Binu, great banking pose, and good DOF between the top and bottom wing tips. Overall nice and sharp too. The Plover pops nicely from the sky BG.

I dont know this species, and since no one else has mentioned it, Im seeing a touch of a magenta cast on this fellow, but I could be totally wrong. Its been a long day at work. :w3

Awesome banking pose on this beautiful fella! I like the comp, good techs, details. Glad Stu is seeing a cast as I was going to mention it too as I see a bit of a purplish hue to the blacks.

It's really touch to catch Plovers in flight. This is really well done, with lovely dorsal banking pose and good detail. Nice flight angle, too.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

Hi Stuart; Daniel, Thanks a lot for pointing this out! I'll try to fix the color cast tonight.

Stuart, the BG is water. Most of the time they fly very low and close to the water.

Hi Binu, thanks for pointing out my sky is actually water. I should have looked closer. :w3

[gail bisson]

Great topside view. Not easy to get.
I agree about the purple hue in the blacks.

Hey Binu, great banking pose with a nice exposure and sharp focus to the last primary. Color cast mentioned. Well done!

Looking forward to more!

[Binu John]

Thanks again! I've tried to fix the color cast.
