Good looking birds these Lapwings :-) Nice low angle you got here and a great smooth BG! Wish for a better HA, and I see a magenta cast. Feather detail is on the weak side, is this a large crop?

Charles:

Daniel hit the important tech points well.

Although the light appears to be quite soft, its interesting that the blacks are blocked and the whites are a bit hot in spots.

Like the crossed leg pose.

Cheers

One new bird for me and nice pose too, I think Daniel and Randy covered critiques here
