    Another lovely image! Love the eye contact, beautiful light, and the habitat. Maybe some noise reduction on the BG.

    Nicely done with a pleasing COMP, a good EXP, and the perfect look-back head angle. Way to go! I would opt to lose the one bright area behind the bird....

    Very nice indeed, I like the composition, just been capturing images of ringed plovers at Gronant North Wales, the little ringed are not too common around Wirral.

    +1 on above comments. Also, a nice low perspective - really draws the viewer into the bird's environment. There seem to be two catchlights (or maybe one that has been elongated).

    May I ask which 400mm you used? The image has excellent detail - I can see tiny blood vessels in the bird's iris!
