    Hi All,

    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.

    Light was a tad harsh IMO, but low angle, pose, BG, colors, sharpness and detail are great :)
    Congratulaitons!

    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

    I like the angle, fresh juvi plumage, BG and eye contact and agree regarding cropping some off the bottom. The light looks a bit harsh.

    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 :-)

    Light harsh?
    To me light looks good. Very nice bird and BG. I would crop a little on bottom to avoid the OOF mud, and would run some NR on BG.
