Arash i woudl say indeed larger was much better for viewing experience of pixel to pixel.
great light, HA , Expos is just bang.
Hi Arash,
So you DO take pictures of birds on the ground!!Superb IQ and techs and I love the fluffed up pose.The broken seashells make for a great ground perch. My only nit is the stuff on the beak (you could clean that up in a second!). I think this is a semipalmated sandpiper but I am no expert. Lovely image,
Gail
Arash:
Sharp, well exposed, excellent shooting angle, shells do make an interesting 'beach' for him.
Pleasant soft BG
Since he is a bit scruffy, I am OK with the feather on beak, fits his look.
I could see a version with the luminosity of the shells toned down a sliver.

Gorgeous light, ruffled up pose, and details. The large version is just superb, Arash.
I'm with you on the ID.

Thanks guys if you look at the large version the stuff on the beak is actually a small feather which I like :)

Black-bellied Plover in molt it is...perfect theme image! I love the pose and the shell floor. I'd only eliminate the faint secondary catchlight below the main one. All else looks super.
Super high-quality image. I like the perfect profile, the sharpness, the shell-y beach, and the warm light.
Hi Arash, superb larger version. I like the light and colours in this, good feather detail, and if anything, I would maybe add a touch to the bottom.![]()
Very nice Arash, although the in flight ones on your smugmug are really great.
The feather as shown on the large version is a nice touch.

Super image - love the pose and the bg. Wonderful light. Stunning detail in the larger image. I thought for a moment that you might have a young American Golden-Plover because of some darkness underneath, but I'll go with Daniel's confirmation of your ID.
Arash, The image is stunning on a 27 inch calibrated Imac, love the light
