    Default Wilson's Plover

    I found this little bird going through it's yoga routine starching legs and wings on both sides. Here is one of the positions that I want to put in my new book: Yoga for Birds. Thanks for looking.

    I like the angle, sharpness and Yoga pose. :) I might tone down the whites a bit more.

    Great pose and sharpness. The gray BG really pops the bird. Some highlight recovery would bring more detail into the whites.

    Nice low angle and excellent pose!
    Agree about the whites.

    I love it when shorebirds assume this pose!! You got it at peak of the stretch, very good. I agree about toning down the whites...actually, it seems to me the whole image could use a slight exposure reduction. I would also look at toning down or completely eliminating the dark patch touching the bird's neck.

    On this monitor the white look very light, so I must concur with previous folks. Otherwise an awesome image brother! Love that stretch indeed, caught the peak of the action! :)
