Hi Mike,

What a magic light on this little bird..I like the elevated position, so we can see the legs. Very nice detail, BG and sharpness. Congratulations.

Lovely image. Sharp. I'd be tempted to crop a tad closer from the top and possibly left.

And it is a bit too warm for my tastes. Granted - it might be my monitor.

Very well captured in nice golden light. Very good and crisp detail and a perfect capture angle. Splendid image.

Now that is sharp! I agree that you could take a sliver off the top and left, but the bird is really crisp, the light is great, and the specs are right on. Top stuff!

My favorite kind of image, amazing low angle and light.
congratulations Mike!

Mike, really nice close up with magical magical light.

That is killer. A classic Mike Milicia shorebird image: sweet light, loose comp, low angle, and perfect HA. I wish the OOF hills of sand in the FG didn't cut off the tip of the feet though.

Well Done!

I love the light! Nice low angle and the plover is tack sharp.

Beautiful light and details. I love the mound it's standing on. Beautiful BG colors.

Gorgeous colors add a special texture for the whole frame. Very nice sharpness.
