Nice one Ofer - like the different coloured stones here. I have always liked the red skin around the eye and the strong black markings of this species. Personal choice, but being this close up I may clean up the beak shine. well done getting close to these little birds - must have taken some effort.

Hmmmm I recognize this bird Another awesome shot Ofer and those reds are amazing. I really like the texture in the ground and bg how it softly blends to smooth

[Geir Jensen]

I hope that it is not the last picture of this magnificent bird. Great picture, great IQ, great colors. Well done.

I'm with Tom about the pebbles...very nice with the different colours. I'm also with him for the bill shine...I'm OK with some of it, but would for sure remove the two white spots near the nostril. All else looks great...and I'd be OK with more images of this beautiful shorebird!!

i smeel something burning in me Ofer. You are putting literally fire on me. amazing show with 800.

[Robert Holguin]

Excellent shot. Great shooting angle, love the pose, exposed very well, sharp, and i too like the the pebbles.
Well done.

[Jim Crosswell]

Great image Ofer! I like the low angle, details, sharpness and complimentary BG.

The DOF is really nice Ofer and I agree with all about the cool looking pebbles.
They compliment and go with the bird colors perfectly.

[Ofer Levy]

for the bill shine...I'm OK with some of it, but would for sure remove the two white spots near the nostril.

Thanks for your comments guys!
Daniel, I am not keen on removing elements from the image unless really necessary. The bill shine results from the bill being wet - which is part of the story. I am not a fan of a too sterile images.

Hi Ofer, you seem to always capture these guys literally parallel to you, which of course they give you a great pose. Another lovely low angle, a mixture of colours shown, and your usual high standard of sharpness. I do like the OOF BG. Im fine with the OOF FG, but if this were mine, I would have added a touch more below.

[Derek Willcox]
