    Sharp, and I love the yellow ripples in the BKGR but lots of problems: relatively harsh light, bird angled slightly away without enough look back head turn. (Perfectly square would be ideal here.) The pile of rocks by the feet was bad luck as it is distracting. Not an easy bird to approach so well done there.

    Super killdeer image Robert. Excellent background and the bird looks well exposed and sharp!

    lovely image. the sharpness is superb as is the BG. Too bad about the rocks and vegetation at his feet. I would love a little more head turn. Would love to have a nice killdeer shot like this though,
