    Ramon:

    Sharp, colorful, nicely exposed, well composed, great angle. Mighty fine.

    Amazing that you could get it full frame with that lens.

    Oh this is just gorgeous Ramon. I have seen lapwings in Brazil and Africa but never had the opportunity to see an Andean Lapwing. Stunning composition and BG and superb eye contact and detail Outstanding !!!!!

    Very nice Ramone! I really like the bronze/gold/copper colours on the wing. I'd look into eliminating that stray bright grass near the legs, but otherwise very well done :-)

    The eye. It screams at you. Good contact. Clean body, silky colors, the golden light send shivers up your spine. Excellent comp.

    Exceptional image. The golden shines on the covers are amazing. Lights and low perspective is unbelievable.

    I have taken pics of this species in Ecuador ,but none compare to this.
    Great light and perspective.
    The bright leg color would suggest breeding season ?
