Three-banded plover
Playing with the natural seroundings of this bird in South Africa I came up with this composition. A lot of space on a dark bagground with little green plands. I hope you'lle like it. Crittics are welcome.

Love the bird and the image design but would like to see a bit more room above the tallest plant. A loverly evironmental portrait.

Beautiful bird Alexander.
May be you could consider a horizontal crop and add some canvas on top.
Lovely pose, light, and sharpness in this. The low angle works well, and more space above the plant would have been good.

Lesbos was great bud less migrating birds then last year due to colder weather and strong winds, i was still able to make a lot of beautiful photographs and encounterd 8 new species wich i never saw before:D
The first photgraphs you may find on my website www.alexanderkoenders.nl and every day i will ad 4 more pictures of the Island of Lesbos Greece.
Love it as presented, I do agree with the above comment about the room and the mud in the FG, but it still looks very nice as it is, good pose, light, comp, detail and atitude. Congratulations!
