Piping plover

[Sidharth Kodikal]

... Or is it a semipalmated?

A pretty static image, but I don't get to photograph shorebirds often :)

Canon 1D4, 700mm
1/2000, f7.1, iso640

Full frame. A small oof fg shell cloned out.

All comments appreciated
Thanks.

Great picture, nice deep shooting position in front of a perfect background.

Hi Sid, excellent low shooting angle, and just love the soft light. The feather detail shows up nicely, well exposed and sharp. The muddy beak shows he/she has been feeding, and the surrounding BG is so smooth.

A very clean image, fine detail. The background and foreground look silky smooth - was it like that?

Very nice! Love the low POV and light.
I am terrible at bird ID's but I think this is a semi.
Love the line of tack sharp sand above the FG,
Gail

Thank you all. Appreciate the feedback.

Hi Jon, yes, it was. Other than eliminating a small oof shell from the fg, curves and sharpening, this image is untouched.
