Nice comp, HA and light. Love the bg and the "perch". In a perfect world, I'd have wished for more of the foot and less of the oof bg (at least the brighter part).
Very nice image, as is.
Wonderful color and light here Ofer.

Classic pose and a somewhat unusual bg. A tad lower to eliminate rocks etc from bg and lose the bit of foot and what happens at top or a bit higher for more foot introduces more rocks in bg. Seems like the best angle to me. I also like the nice in focus rock plover is standing on.
The bird is nice and sharp having a good HA. The OOF rock in the background gives it a tree dimensional feel. Very nice picture, Ofer.

excellent pose, details and low angle.

I think the BG is fine and a really good angle.
I, too, would like to see the foot better.

Beautiful portrait, Ofer. Love the way the golden colors pop against that blue. Great low angle and pose. The missing foot is a minor nit.
Beautiful light and detail. I like the up hill stance and the yellow really pops
Excellent light, details and bg.
