Very nice light and I really like the reflection of the setting sun in the eye.
Good clean BG.
I would prefer to see at least one foot but still nice as is.
I like your comp but think I would (personally) prefer a little bit more room , especially on the RHS and above.

This is beautiful, Tomasz!

Well exposed and lovely colours, sharp, nice detail in the feathers.

Not a big issue really but I would love a tad more on the bottom, if you have. The BG is superb, with all those greens and blues.

Wonderful capture, I enjoyed viewing, TFS!

Kind regards,

[William Dickson]

Well captured Tomasz. Beautiful bird, and you have showed it to us well. I love the bed of wet weed.

Lovely light on the bird and great detail.

[Grace Scalzo]

Another beauty. Love the details in the face.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Cute subject, and getting down really low surely improved what was surely a messy/mucky habitat. Good pose and light. Super details, sharpening borderline overly done (OK as is but could be a touch less aggressive on it too). Yes to a bit more room for the composition. There is bit of a light "halo" touching the neck and chest area of the subject that could be cleaned up for a better finish there. All in all a really nice shorebird image - looks like you had fun crawling in the muck:S3:

[Tomasz Zawadzki]

Thanks a lot. In fact i didn't have to crawl a lot in the mud as i was lying on the part that was almost dry. Truly it is a low perspective, can't get much lower than that, but this is how i like to shoot shorebirds, because it allows to have a nice blurred background behind the bird.

[Bill Dix]

Beautiful light and background, and a nice pose. Yes to a bit more room, but not a deal breaker. Is the lighter bg band next to the breast the result of some PP work, or something in the bg?

[Tomasz Zawadzki]

Something in the background.

[Marina Scarr]

Lovely plover portrait. Great light and terrific colors. I would personally like to see a bit more room all around. I am seeing you may have done some work around the neck and chest area of the bird?

[Tomasz Zawadzki]

Nothing has been done in that area, not sure what it is but it's on the raw file.

[Tomasz Zawadzki]

I have removed that halo effect.
