Hiking Black-bellied Plover

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I photographed this plover at Barnegat Light about 30 minutes after sunrise and liked the raised toe.

A real beauty! I like the HA and that eye is incredible. Great body position and BG too.

Amazing light , compo , details and sharpness Axel , I liked feet position very much

Nice and sharp, with good exposure too. Good bg and even the dark in it to the left does not harm IMO as it just seems to lead me right into the subject and the feet.

A Moon Walking plover, who would have ever thunk that. :p:confused:

Good to see this.

Great expo here Axel Bhai, loved the eye contact, nice angle and the details really makes this for me..

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Axel....all techs spot on as usual. Good call on f/11. Loved the BG a lot. No suggestions from my end.....you dont leave much room for that :-)

Axel

The toe action kicks this well exposed image a couple of notches.

Another beauty, Axel. Your ability to hand hold that lens and get such razor sharp images amazes me.

You certainly show why you are a Super Moderator. It is pretty much perfect. I can only agree with the comments above.

I like the raised toe too! Nice warm light and great details!

[Jim Fenton]

Pose, background, exposure, head turn, sharpness...it's all just right Axel :)
