    Pretty much perfect! Love the calling pose and the low angle. Sharp with a perfect exposure and processing. May we assume that a nest was nearby? There have been dozens of these guys down by the lake near my home in central Florida and I cannot get anywhere near them even in the car ...

    Exceptional work - I love the completely oof foreground and background and feet missing below that. Muted and complementary colour palette adds for me. Great calling pose too. No nits from me on this one.

    Hi Arthur. There was about six of them flying around and landing on this gravel road. When I walked over there some flew away but this one kept coming closer to me once I was lying flat on the road. There was no broken wing display but it was the right time of year for nesting so it is possible. I had a Southern Lapwing in Costa Rica that kept coming closer to me as well on a recent trip to Costa Rica. Thanks for the kind comments
