    Default Semipalmated Plover at Sunset ~ Fall Dunes

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    While spending some time at Plum island last week photographing a Curlew Sandpiper, I came across this little beauty tucked out of the wind in the last glow of the evening sun.

    The plant material is a bit cluttered, but I kind of like it as an environmental scene.

    Your thoughts?

    Great light and I really like the color. Like the surrounding plants as well.

    I really like this image. The composition is really nice with the bird in amongst the vegetation. You've got some nice details here and I like the soft evening light.

    I find I like the way the vegetation frames the bird. As mentioned, you have great warm light, nice details, a good HA and a very, very inquisitive look!
    All in all, a very nice images, TFS!

    PS. I only find the shadows bug me a little, but unavoidable. I wonder how it would have been if you had went lower?

    You don't often see light more stunning than this. Love the environmental feel. Everything about this photo is glowing!

    Beautiful light and sharpness. I like images with habitat and here the bird is clear amongst the vegetation good capture.

    The light is simply gorgeous, and I love how the vegetation frames this super cute subject. Very well done.

    Yes it works for me too, plenty of vegetation but non obscuring the subject, I can't help but feel that sometimes we become a little obsessive over clearing minor natural material/blemishes, after all nature is natural. I like the composition and the light and the super detail in the plumage.

    Love it, Jim. I find this type of image which includes habitat much more appealing that a plain bird. Lovely light.
