    Here is another frame of another Semipalmated Plover. This one have not transiction yet to the breeding colors of my previous photo. But I do like the background and the overall color of the image. It may look very similar to my last shot but it really isnt.

    Ray:

    Great pov, really gives an intimate feel to it, with creamy OOF background. Nice head angle and warm, complimentary colors.

    Cheers

    Really nice shot Ray, the low POV is perfect, just the right angle. Great light on the bird and all details retained in both the whites and the darks

    Love the gorgeous light and colours, nice detail on the subject and well exposed, sharp where needs be and the catchlight in the eye a bonus. BG is great, FG a tad distracting but I guess not much you could do about it.

    Great POV and well processed, I enjoyed viewing, TFS!

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    I'm a big fan of the little plovers, and this is a beauty. Great light and super low POV.
