Had the good fortune to photograph this nest a few years back in Fort Myers. Since I didn't have a long lens at the time, a good friend of mine allowed me to slip my card into his camera. Not an easy nest to shoot for a variety of reasons, but I was pretty happy when the male showed me his precious eggs for this capture. The eggs appears to large in comparison to the shorebird.

Exposure looks great particularly with a hint of gold in the light and I think filling the frame with subject matter looks great in this example. OK, so I'm not particularly fussed about the stick lying on the shelley beach in front, but I guess in a perfect world it would be better not being there, but no biggie imo.
Love the warm light, and the directional aspect of it works really well here. Quite precious to see those eggs...
