Semipalmated Plover wing stretch

[Kester Clarke]

These guys are so small. And they wouldn't let me get very close, so this a very large crop from horizontal.
Critique welcomed and thanks.

Lovely and different setting and BG here and you did a great job of catching the wing flap!

Having the bird angled away and the feet hidden both detract from the image for me.

[Kester Clarke]

Yes, I definitely wish I could have been better positioned. But am happy to have captured this behavior.
I'll be going back this afternoon if they're still there.

You could not have asked for a better wing stretch. Mike has mentioned the two same concerns I have here on this otherwise fine image. Was the pin-point catchlight added in post?

No, that is a natural catchlight. No flash used.
