Hi John, Love the low angle along with the subjects positioning. If inclined I might blend the backround on the far right. I would also take a bit off the bottom. Overall...well handled!

[Bob Miller]

Hi john!....Nice capture....I agree with Dave....take some off the bottom and if it were mine i would crop some off the LHS so your subject is off center. I like the colored background but the RHS needs to be blended as Dave suggested

[PeterCollins]

agree with the other guys really, blend on the right and crop off bottom abit to tighten slightly

Love the capture tho, wish mine all turned out like that!

[David Stephens]

I love the low angle and bokeh both front and back.

I actually like the proportion of your crop left to right and would only consider making it 10-20% tighter, but with the same placement and proportions.

Really nice, John. I like your composition as is and agree with the blending in urc.
Great low angle, BG and pose. Killdeers have great eyes!

Hi John - agree with the above comments - like the low shooting angle - just a little too much negative space with OOF elements on the bottom.
Keep em coming :)

[Alfred Forns]

Sweet image John Great feel !! Agree with comments and can add would like seeing a little more shadow detail around the neck band !!! Big Congrats on this one !!!

The low angle and the bird partly obscured by the oof grass makes for a very nice composition.
