    Thats a georgeous shot Raybel
    Nice detail where it counts and a great BG.
    If I had to do anything , I would take some off the bottom and top and maybe a sliver off the left hand side. Just my take, on a great image as it is.
    Must be awful where you live !!!(Joke !!)
    Similar plovers are arriving here now.
    Cheers

    Just gorgeous!! I'd consider toning down the green on the top a bit but that's a small point for a wonderful image.

    Wow! This is really nice Raybel. The bands of color really make this one special and the nice profile pose and great details top this off nicely. A bit to much OOF foreground for my taste but otherwise a very sweet frame.

    P.M. me to inquire on dates, pricing and availabilities. Thank You.

    My type of low angle! I love the light and colours. I'm with David for wanting a bit less FG, and if mine I would surely tone down the bright area touching the tail. Highly appealing....I'm sure you will miss these guys for the next few months!

    Lovely looking shot Ray. The details on the bird are beautiful as is the BG. I would also crop a wee bit off the bottom Great work.

    A super image Ray. I really like the low angle and beautiful background. I am mixed on the foreground, I can see why some would suggest to crop some of it, but it does have a nice effect.
