Thanks
Lighting is outstanding, and your exposure looks great across the bird. My test for profiled shorebird shots is the eye and legs must be sharp, and this pass perfectly. Low shooting angle is money. Getting one in
the water like this is different from the terrestrial shots we usually see.
Very nice indeed, and what a beautiful pose and HA. Lovely detail on the bird and the BG sets it off perfectly.

Nice to see the killdeer in the water. I only ever see them on land. Light looks nice and the low angle is right on. Nice details as well.
This is nice Krishna, I get them in the water occasionally but not this clean.Whites look great and I always like the low perspective. TFS
Very nice job you did on this worn individual. I love how it is leaning forward.
Nice to get in the water as every one point out and nice low angle.
Whites are a bit blown.
Very nice Krishna! Love seeing the killdeer in the water.
Great low POV and nice light.
It looks like you had to do some work on the whites but PP looks OK.
I would take a sliver off the bottom.
Very nice

Yes to the nice alert pose. Gail's suggested crop would clean up the composition/reflection a bit. The legs here are sharp because the bird is relatively distant ... But I guess that f/8 helped a little.
with love, a
