Shorebirds are my favorite so right away you won me over. This is a species I have very little experience with so I like it even more. I very much like the low angle and the raised foot. The head turn is great as well. Nice sharpness and colors. If I were being super picky I could say that I would love to see that back foot and perhaps a bit more saturation. Not only would I love if this photo were mine, I would be happy just with seeing the bird this well. The photo would be the icing on the cake.
Very nice details and low shooting angle, Bill, I love the little Snowies. He does look like he's sneaking off somewhere, the raised foot really helps out. I never seem to be able to find them with any background other than sand, so I like this blue background.
Love what you captured here, the little Plover seems as delicate as a snowflake. That raised foot, treading carefully, along with the "sneaky look" make this image for me.
Well exposed and I love the creamy colouring of the feathers. As well as the POV. Image well processed and good sharpness, lovely detail, great techs.
I will try find some of my images of our local plovers for you, I think they are about as pretty as your subject here - such a delicate little bird!
