Early Morning Piping Plover

[allanrube]

I shot this plovver the other morning as the tide was going out. The receding water created little valleys filled with water. Most plovers did not want to be bothered by me but this one was curious. He is one I captured before it got too close to focus on. Light was cloudy.

Cute little guy, the soft light, pose and composition looks very good. I might lighten the eye a bit.

Very nice as presented, the higher angle shows the puddles very well. Excellent light and exposure, good detail and a catch light to boot.

Allan, I like the little valleys and the soft light. The feather detail on the back looks good.
