I can't thnk of anything I would change. I think you captured this bird rather nicely. It is sharp, I love the raised foot, and the direct eye contact. The colors on the head are nice, and I think you captured its personality to match his looks. Thank you for sharing.

Really good details in black and white (something not easy to do), excellent low angle with walking pose. I also like the change in toning of the background, I think it quite beautiful.

Oh my, that is just flat out beautiful! Tack sharp bird with great background colors and super blurring. Very striking.

[Dudley Watson]

Excellent image with great eye contact and detail VWD

[Matthew Studebaker]

beautiful clean image, I love the bokeh, nice pose from the bird, good detail, good noise control and exposure - what's not to love?!

[Mitch Carucci]

Beautiful bird, excellent rendering.

[Chad Caswell]

Very nice detail on this one, great composition. Reminds me of our Killdeer.

[Richard Unsworth]

Fabulous angle and exposure; the graduation and style of BG is really pretty, as is the species of course

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Girish, one heck of a shot. Terrific ultra low angle and BG. raised foot always adds that something extra. the FG blur is very nice. Exposure, IQ, DOF....well done on all counts. Loved the eye.

Do you have any more room below for more virtual feet?

[Willem Verboom]
