    You have a lovely plover here, Rakesh. Even though you can't see it's feet, this composition works and I like the BG. It shows off your subject well.

    Hi Rakesh, love the light in this, together with the softer colours of the BG. I do like the space, although taking a bit off the top wont harm the overall image. I would have liked to have seen the feet.

    Rakesh, I never mind not seeing the feet. always love such low angles. nice BG and exposure. small-in-frame works well...but I'd take some off the top...and add tiny more at the bottom.

    Love these little Plovers. Refreshing to see the bird with lots of space. Good soft light and bg, and although I would have liked to see the feet, it doesn't really hurt the image IMHO.

    Very well done on the dreamy image. The bg does not bother me at all, I am more inclined to see the feet but not a deal breaker on this one, and I like all the room.

    Great picture. Lovely BG. I like the low angle and it does nothing that a little of the feet are missing.
