    Default Piping Plover

    Taken at Revere Beach near Boston a week ago. It is really great to see these guys nesting
    in this extremely busy and urban area. Three "generations" were present at the beach.
    Adults, month old juvies. and not more than week old babies. Note that the image was taken with TC20E III. The TC performs very well with the adults and juvies, but I had really hard
    time focusing on the babies. I guess they are too fast and fluffy :D(not enough contrast and texture for the AF to "catch" them).
    CC appreciated.

    Nikon D700 300mm+TC20E III f/8.0 1/320 Manual exp. @ 0 ISO400 fill flash

    Very sweet image with a nice pose and good exposure. It does appear to be a tad soft on my monitor and just a little more contrast. Many thanks for sharing Ilija.

    Angle and sharpness look good. I would adjust the midtones to make the bird a bit darker.

    Nice capture of a beautiful bird Ilija. I like the warm light and eye catch. Exposure and sharpness seem good to me.

    Thank you for the very useful comments. It is good to have diverse range of opinions.
    I think I agree that I should tone down the image bit more. Considering the sharpness
    I will be posting more images made with the TC20E III and see what are the opinions about it.
    Thanks again.

    Great low perspective Ilija, and I like the angle of pose. If this were mine, I would maybe remove the dark pebble on the right. My eye keeps going to it.

    Very nice capture with great HA and eye contact. Nice warm color palette. I may crop some off the top and great job with the new 2X!
