    Intimate POV , BG, EXP and details all spot on. Perhaps less at the base and I want to see entire laminar flow on the back foot. Beautiful and yes, playful canvas. TFS

    Nice light on this cute little Plover. Ditto David's comments. I suppose this is a case where, in retrospect, being just a few inches higher would have helped.

    I sometimes like to play with the FG like this too, but I prefer when the transition is softer than here. Having said this, the plover looks great, and the foot rising out of the water is neat.

    Yup. The two lumps that blocked the feet are a bummer. What date please? This is a young of the year.

    Killer lighting a detail, and you got some really nice eye contact. I agree the foreground is really distracting. It overpowers the subject.

    Thank you all for the comments.

    My Lens was on Ground Pod. Not much I could do with the foreground.

    I only got couple of frames with Blue water... I went to this place couple of times and it is not work out. I went today and saw these birds were gone (This is a stop over place for Migration)

    The low angle and the light are nice. I like the pose and the framing.
