Very nice light and I really like the reflection of the setting sun in the eye.
Good clean BG.
I would prefer to see at least one foot but still nice as is.
I like your comp but think I would (personally) prefer a little bit more room , especially on the RHS and above.
Cute subject, and getting down really low surely improved what was surely a messy/mucky habitat. Good pose and light. Super details, sharpening borderline overly done (OK as is but could be a touch less aggressive on it too). Yes to a bit more room for the composition. There is bit of a light "halo" touching the neck and chest area of the subject that could be cleaned up for a better finish there. All in all a really nice shorebird image - looks like you had fun crawling in the muck
Thanks a lot. In fact i didn't have to crawl a lot in the mud as i was lying on the part that was almost dry. Truly it is a low perspective, can't get much lower than that, but this is how i like to shoot shorebirds, because it allows to have a nice blurred background behind the bird.
Beautiful light and background, and a nice pose. Yes to a bit more room, but not a deal breaker. Is the lighter bg band next to the breast the result of some PP work, or something in the bg?
Lovely plover portrait. Great light and terrific colors. I would personally like to see a bit more room all around. I am seeing you may have done some work around the neck and chest area of the bird?
Little ringed plover (Charadrius dubius)
