Excellent pose and great looking environment, Mike. The HA is just perfect. The background looks nice as well.

Sweet bird and a beautiful perch. Well done.

[Melissa Groo]

Beautiful pose, setting, and colors, Mike. Excellent work.

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Lovely perch, perfect BG, low angle and head angle. Would maybe do another round of sharpening on the eye TFS.

[Amol Khedgikar]

Beautiful bird perch and bg? Superb colors. Agree with Vivaldi about the eye.

What a beautiful environment and perch you captured!
I love the perky pose. Perfect HA as well.
I too, see a bit of softness around the eye and cheek.

Everything comes together so well, the pose and environment, the colours - you nailed it well done.

[Miguel Palaviccini]

Love the foreground and how well it meshes with the plover. The bg is nice and clean. And of course the plover itself is stunning. Great pose, head angle, and very nice job on the capture and editing.
