Semipalmated Plover

[Daniel Cadieux]

A little slow going photography-wise the past couple of weeks so here is one from the archives ;-) Photographed last fall on a local beach that was all the rage as far as shorebird migration went.

Canon Rebel XT + 100-400L @400mm, 1/250s., f7.1, ISO400, +1.3 EC, handheld, a couple of distracting elements cloned out in URC

[John Chardine]

This is superb Daniel! I think you have all the elements of an excellent image here- composition, exposure, sharpness/DoF, action, BG. How much of a crop if any what this? The image really shows how good the 100-400 can be.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great pose, angle and eye contact. I might raise the color temperature a tad.

[Raymond Barlow]

very nice image Daniel.. sweet light, pose, and back, collours look great to me... the head looks too centered in the frame to me,.. Also, I really like the low angle.

[Raul Quinones]

Nice even light, great pose and love the low angle. I like it a lot.

[Fabs Forns]

Sweet little pee-wee, love that wing stretch. Agree with Axel on warming it up a tad :)

[Steve Maxson]

I like this one a lot, Daniel. Great pose, nice low angle and composition, and a clean background. Well done.

[Alfred Forns]

Love it as presented Daniel !!! Sweet low angle and what a stretch !!!!

[Chris Dodds]

Great wing stretch and subject - super capture. Do agree with others comments about warming it up a notch.

[Doug Brown]

I like it as presented Daniel. Don't mind the lack of warmth on an overcast day.
