Egyptian Plover

[Ignacio Yufera]

One of the prettiest African shorebirds. Taken in Senegal.

Canon 1D MkIII, Canon 800 f/5.6; 1/1600s @ f/7.1, ISO 200

[Stu Bowie]

Good low angle, and I like the slightly raised foot. Overall, good exposure, and I like the smooth BG.

[Greg Basco]

Ignacio, really nice portrait. You nailed the exposure and sharpness, and I love the nice catchlight in the eye. I can't see any way to improve upon this.

Cheers,
Greg Basco

Ignacio
Can't add anything to what Stuart and Greg have already said - technically spot on
Shows what you can do with the 800mm f5.6
Very nicely done

[Dave Leroy]

A very interesting looking bird.
I like the nice low angle as well as slight body and head turn.
Very nice.

[Charlie VanTassel]

A beauty of a bird and a winner of pose. Looks like you handled the technical end quite well. The blue in the legs and the complete sharpness of the subject really are well executed.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Great looking Bird this... Loved the HA, nice details and BG...

[Malcolm Benn]

lovely shot, great HA and walking pose .. is that a dust bunny just under the body in front of the forward leg and then again at the right edge?

[Juan Aragonés]

Superb pose, light and BG. Love everything on this one. The raised legs and the nail touching the sand is just a perfect bonus for this image. Estoy muy envidioso :D
