Again, same individual. What I love above this image is the better overall body/head angle, and the great view of the semipalmated foot. Gotta love those cooperative juvenile shorebirds!!
Love the bird and the perch and the perfect EXP. And the excellent self critique. The only thing you forgot to mention is that the darkish band through the center of the frame :)

I enjoyed this series Daniel. The only thing I would do to this image is remove the sharper back edge on the right side of the perch. The perch is so smooth except for this area. Still great as posted.
Like this capture as presented. When I first opened it, the band did not detract for me. It seems soft enough to me to add to the environmental feel instead of being truly distracting.
Dan, I like the sharpness and exposure in this, together with the angled pose. I dont find the darker band distracting, which I presume is a breaking wave.
Excellent exposure and sharpness as always, Daniel.
The [what looks like] sawed off end of the perch is my least favorite part of this beautiful image.
One last Semipalmated Plover, until the next one!
