Excellent image of Plover.
Love the way it pops up against beautiful green backdrop,great lights,colors,details and composition.
Would crop on the top and just silver line at the bottom.

Beautiful shot Chris, I like the light, pose and composition wouldn't change a thing.

Love the colors and light. The BG and environment are perfect. Very nice image.

I like the pose, setting, colours, sharpness and composition. Well done Christopher!

Great HA, sharp, pretty background. Love the dirt on the beak. I like that the grasses are going one way while the bird is going another. I might darken or tone down the OOF grass and mud in the foreground. Great shot.

Hi Chris, great low angle of capture, tack sharp, and really like the light in this. The placement works well, killer BG, and if anything, I would just take a bit off the top.

[Rachel Hollander]

Great low pov, details, pose and HA. I think the frost/snow on the ground really adds to the image. Congrats on this one!

TFS,
Rachel

Fantastic Christopher! Might want a bit off the bottom to minimize the OOF vegetation.......but this is really a standout!

[PhilCook]

Very sweet shot ! Cant really think of much I'd change, possibly remove the ruddy colored band from the top, but I wouldn't suggest it's a " must do "

[Jon Swanson]

Cracking shot! I like the pebbles showign throough the snow with the green grass. And the bird isn't too bad either!

[Karl Egressy]

Great dreamy picture, Chris. Love everything about it.

[Robert Holguin]
