That's a pretty serious "tug of war" these 2 plovers are having. I wish for a little more space on the left side. While the birds in the background don't bother me, I think this image would showcase this behavior even better without them.

Thank you Marina.
My goal is to display the image View live birds in The Island.

Hi Hadi,
I really like this.
The action and low POV is excellent.
Light is a bit harsh but not a deal breaker. If you have the skills, adding 5% canvas on the LHS in Photoshop would be fairly straightforward and give you the room this image needs,

Really nice action and good IQ.
You need to join BPN, I think your photo's get overlooked and are interesting.
I agree, this is too tight, a bit more room all around would be nice.

Great action & shooting angle Hadi. Nice IQ regarding to somewhat harsh light. As mentioned above, ditto wish for a little more room in the left side of the frame. Is it really a competition for food or any kind of mating behavior?

[arash_hazeghi]

Interaction is great and dynamic, both birds are sharp and well exposed. the oof birds (Caspian terns ?) in the BG are a part of the landscape and do blend in nicely but I wish there was more room on the left where the placement of the bush was a bit unfortunate
