    Good job getting low and you have nice feather details here. Nice pose. The only thing I would have preferred and so would probably have you, would have been to see some feet.

    Stunning capture! I like the pose and composition. I see theres two tiny areas (neck and chest) where the exposure almost got away from you but you controlled it well. Love the orange legs and detail throughout whole bird :D

    Hi Juan, nice little plover. Low POV, complimentary background, good feather detail all add to the image. I agree with Lance that there are two areas where the exposure is clipped one on the lower neck and the other on the upper chest. I think they can be fixed in Photoshop using the Patch Tool and finding a spot to blend the feathers. Nice image, thank you for sharing.

    Many thanks Marina and to Joe and Lance for the comments and for noticing the white with no details. Here's the repost, please let me know how it looks to you.

    I love the texture of the slightly raised head feathers. Nice pose, good low angle. You did well to fix the blown highlights on the repost.
