    Default New England semipalmated plover

    I thought I would add my plover to the many being posted here. Did not get a clear sky background as the group of plovers was in a recessed area of a mudflat yesterday morning. The items you see are from debris left when the tide went out.
    D300 600 with 1.7 tc. 1/320 at f6.7 0EV at (auto) ISO 1000.

    Looks like a chilly morning. The light looks like a spotlight on the bird, details and angle look good, too and I don't mind the stuff behind the bird. I just wish for a bit more head turn towards you and would run NR on the BG.

    I like the light, the pose, and the SH and am OK with the BGR. I wish that the bird had had its eye open fully and would lose the little grey thingie just above the birds foot--

    Good comments from above. A little more head turn would be great. I might try to Quick Mask out the seaweed? in front of the bird by the feet.
