Wilson's plover bathing

[Lorant Voros]

Something different here...let's see what you guys think. I was laying in the mud when this individual walked out in front of me to take a bath. Same bird as a previous post circus artist.

I like this Lorant. Very absorbing image. Lovely colours. An image you can look at for a while

Well done

I like it. I a bit tight IMO (I could see more at left and above), but this has me studying the image quite a bit. For sure I would use either the content aware or patch tools on the very brightest highlight that is touching the bill. The low angle gave you a neat perspective of the bathing behaviour. I bet you were too close for the following wing flap!

[Don Railton]

Yep , its doing it for me also... I would like to see all of the splash with a bit of room around the edge of it (upper RH side)

A very different shot that I really do like.

Hi Lorant, 10/10 for getting this perspective, and for getting wet. I do like the flying water from the bathing behaviour, and agree, the single highlight next to the bill needs to be sorted. Easy fix.

[Lorant Voros]

Thanks for the comments, guys. The highlight spot close to the bill is indeed easy fix with the content aware. I have more room around, so I will experiment with the suggestion. Thanks.

I like the low angle, splash and thought provoking composition. An interesting and excellent image Lorant!
