Eurasian Curlew

[Mital Patel]

Walking Tall i just love this bird for its too long beak and the size amongst those tiny waders where this bird usually been found. Stands out really well and does not need to ask anyone to ID what it is

Mital, cool perspective, and just love the pose, as it shows off that long bill very well. Great BG too.

Great HA and eye contact Mital. Love the bird in motion pose with the raised leg.

Mital, excellent on all counts...exposure, HA, pose, shooting angle, composition...well done. If mine, I'd remove the second catchlight.

Great pose Mital. Love the dof, really makes the curlew stand out. Well done.

Your recent shorebirds images have been a real pleasure to view. :cheers: And this is a really cool image.
I like the front on angle with the bird checking you out.

I like everything about this fine image except the very bottom. To my eye, cropping about half of the OOF foreground is an improvement.
