    I made this image of a Golden Plover in Iceland.
    I like the way the bird melts with the for- and background, but I am not sure, if it works?

    Works for me. I like the low angle and the OOF FG.I would like a little more room at the bottom for the virtual legs.
    Thank you for sharing.

    I like it but do agree with Admas on the vitrual legs. The bird could use a bit of sharpening and it would not hurt to eiliminate the-dagger-to-the-heart piece of grass...

    Virtual legs would be nice. I can see the dagger look must go. As for the rest it is quite nice. Good color and contrast and considering such a small bird nice focus. The little ones that blend in are always nice to get.

    Great setting, angle, mood and colors. I sharpened the bird, added some canvas at the bottom and removed that blade of grass. A little bit of head turn toward you would have been nice.
