Greater Sand Plover

Canon EOS 40D, 500mm f/4, 1.4x t.c.

f/8, 1/1600 sec, ISO 400, 700mm

Yes, a very nice pose captured.
BTW, I'm at Bangalore now, for a month.

Ramesh:

I like the striding pose, low shooting angle, sharpness and exposure.

Your low shooting angle allowed the greater DOF to keep the entire bird in focus without the background becoming bothersome.

Well done.

Because of the head angle, you could trim a sliver off the left side, but nice as is.

Hi Ramesh, the little guy looks startled with those splayed legs. :w3 Good low angle of capture, exposure spot on, sharp, and this has a nice 3D effect to it. Pops well from the BG.

Agree with the above. A lovely portrait captured here! Great detail and background. Well done!

Ramesh, absolutely loved the pose you froze. excellent subject isolation. I think it can go a bit brighter.

Very nice light, pose and shooting angle, Ramesh. Lovely bird.
I'd clean up the eye a bit.

Ramesh, a striking pose and so well handled.
Best regards
