    Default Piping Plover

    I'm going through some files from last year. I made this one at Long Island last August late in the day. I liked the shadow and sunlit stripe in front of the bird.

    Nice pose with good eye contact. I like the late afternoon lighting.

    I like your shorebird photography style; your self-critique here is right on. Love the perspective you chose, the killer light, and the SH. I would not change a pixel.

    Excellent exposure, and I really like the light in this. Overall nice and sharp, and love the feather detail. Well captured.

    I love the mood captured Axel. The exposure is spot on, nice DOF and superb detail. I would not change a thing.

    Thank you Arthur, I've been seen this SH for a long time and was puzzled to what it means.
