A very accommodating individual, often coming way inside of MFD. On this frame, it was photographed a few minutes after sunrise (you can see the sun just over the horizon in the eye's reflection), giving it a nice warm glow. I ended up just as soaking wet as if I had lied down in wet mud, thanks the quite dewy grass, but at least I was clean!
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/500s., f/5.6, ISO 1600, natural light, handheld, added about 10% canvas top and right, reduced the reddish cast on the plover as although it was natural and very appealing seen "live" it was a bit much as a still image IMO.
