Everyone has been posting such nice Semi-Palmated Plover images lately I thought I would add another that I got last weekend. This bold little fella just kept walking right up to me as I lay prone trying to get an image of the greater yellowlegs I posted earlier I couldn't resist getting a few images. Thanks for looking.

Good angle and the colors look good but looks like it could use some straightening. If you have the room, might try to crop out some the oof water at the bottom
Who can resist taking photos of such passer-bys! Nice low angle, and a good subtle head turn. I am somewhat bothered by the shadow directly underneath the wing. I agree some could be taken off at bottom, and I would eliminate the darker smudge along the top edge of the frame. Maybe raise the colour temp a few notches as the image seems somewhat on the cool side. Good OOF BG, and I like the muddied leg and bill :-)
