Semipalmated plover with worm

[Grace Scalzo]

From an Eastern Suffolk County park, early this morning, low tide.

1/800, f5.6, ISO400
Canon 50D + 500mm f4, lens on sand.

I like the light, angle, eye contact and the worm adds to it. If it were mine I might crop some off the top.

[Morkel Erasmus]

super low angle, details, light and sharpness. it seems to need a slight CW rotation to my eyes.

Grace,

A great image. Love the shallow DOF and creamy soft BG. I'd take some off the top too.

[Tony Whitehead]

Lovely low angle and light, Grace. Agree that a little off the top would not be missed.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Love the comp. , light , exposure and low angle. It could use just a small bit of CW rotation but still great as is.

You know I like Snack shots.. Aree with a little off the top. Also like the leg position.

Wished we could have joined you this AM.. much more fun than the dentist !

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

A little CW rotation I think and the bit from above (crop). Fabulous image. Lovey HA and perfect techs. Thanks for sharing. :)

[Joerg Rockenberger]

Great low angle and background. A tighter crop from the top would be great. The whites on the head look a little bit hot/detail-less on my monitor. JR

[Chris van Rooyen]

Great angle and light! The worm is a bonus too! I like the wide composition.

[Mark Medcalf]

Really like the shallow DOF yest the whole bird is sharp. From what I have learnt from my first post, I agree, a little off the top also.
