Another White-fronted Plover (South Africa)

[Dorian Anderson]

From the same location as the previous frame, albeit on the next afternoon.

Background is a breaking wave.

Canon 600mm f/4 IS II + 1.4x III on EOS R5
1/4000 at f/7.1, ISO 800
Processed in LR CC and Topaz. Nothing added or cloned.

Another sweet shot, the specular highlights add to the lovely BG. Nice that the breaking wave rises above the bird.

Very nice, DOF can be tough with theses small birds and you did very well. Your usual nice angle.

[William Dickson]

Looking good Dorian.....Fab POV and pose ....The position of the bird against the BG is perfect...If anything, I would try some more sharpening on the bird....

Here's an example of when keeping the specular highlights in works well! Oh man, I love the BG. Subject looks great as well!
