Super cute running pose....accentuated by the kicked up sand. I've been up since 4 am and my eyes are shot, but maybe a bit more sharpening? Love the clean background also.

[Marina Scarr]

Lovely up close capture of this running plover. Love the raised foot and the kicked up sand as well. The sand is so nice and clean. I agree on more sharpening to bring out feather detail.

[arash_hazeghi]

great pose and nice low angle, it is soft as presented however. I also like the micro sand particles that are flying around which shows how fast the chick is running!!

[Stu Bowie]

Nice low angle Noelle, and I like the running pose with the flying sand. Good complimentary colour to the BG too. I agree this seems a touch soft compared to your usual standards.

[noelle zaleski]

Thanks, everyone. Looked sharp enough to my tired eyes last night :e3:e3

I wish the back foot was showing more, the repost looks better. Lets call him stubby :t3:t3

[RakeshDhareshwar]

The repost looks better . The flying sand is the USP of this image !!

[Neil Nourse]

Nice one Noelle!
Great DOF and I love the kicked up sand. Re-post looks much better.

Noelle, We had a good time and you did a great job with this one. I haven't even looked at mine:S3: I have bite marks on my one leg in a cluster-yikes!!
PS-I like the repost and love the sand being kicked up.

[Jim Crosswell]

Great image Noelle! I like the low angle, DOF and the flying sand really adds to the image. Repost is an improvement.

[Bill Dix]

Lovely one, Noelle. Terrific clean BG, running pose, flying sand. Good repost. The image seems decidedly on the warm side.

[allanrube]

Good capture of the plover while it was running. Kicked up sand adds to feel of motion.

Thanks Denise,

I knew I should have sprayed you down with calamine before you left :bg3:

I had a wonderful time and we will certainly make plans to get together again when I come back from my trips.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Again a great shooting angle and the complimentary colors. I really like the walking pose and the sand being kicked up works so nicely...Repost is great. Nice one Noelle:S3:

[Jonathan Ashton]

Repost looks sharper - a good image ... but I too have some reservations re colour temperature.

[Brendan Dozier]

Very nice capture, Noelle, and the sand kicking up is a nice touch. Repost looks good! :S3:
