European Golden Plover II

[Jóhannes Gunnar]

I'm beginning to love this forum!

Shot a few weeks ago, at Heiðmörk, Iceland...



Nikon D300 + Sigma 50-500 on a beanbag...
F/8 - ISO 250 - 1/500

Cheers!

Very nice Johannes, I like all the browns and yellows, they blend very well. Tack sharp also. I might add a little room above and bellow the bird. Congrats.

I like the low angle, alert pose, details and BG. Another vote for a bit more room top and bottom. I could also see this as a vertical crop.

I'm glad you enjoy the forum and keep them coming, it's always great to see images made in Iceland! :)

[Joe Senzatimore]

Great image. Low angle makes this one. Just a bit of room at the top would help.

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Stuning bird Jóhannes. More room for me around too! Otherwise fabulous BG, colors and pose. Thanks for sharing.

[Connie Mier]

Nice bg and feather details are right on. As others said, a bit more room at the bottom might improve it.

[Amy Marques]

Nicely done. The landscape and hint of little colorful flowers add a touch of whimsy.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Great detail, ligght, colors, BG, pose, comp and sharpness, another vote from me for a tad more room top and bottom.
Congratulations!

This is a beautiful picture and well taken. I would sharpen the eye a bit and will also leave some more canvas at the top.
