Hello everyone. Here is a pic of this brave little guy. It let me get pretty close and with what I think is a very nice background.
C&C welcomed and encouraged.

BG is killer. Fine detail and low angle make this work. Woul tone down the bottom just a bit.

[christopher galeski]

nice image,like the BG,nice detail in the bird,agree on toning dow the FG a bit.

[gail bisson]

Great BG. IQ is excellent. Perfect HA and pose. I think that if you darkened the FG it would allow his feet to show up a bit better,
Well done,
Gail

Robert:

Sharp, nice pose, good BG, +1 on burning in the FG a bit.

Nicely captured.

Cheers

Beautiful image Robert! I like the pose, sharpness, HA and BG. Another vote for toning down the FG.

[thijs broekkamp]

Very nice, bg is indeed a very nice one. Makes it a calm image. The light is a bit harsh though, because of that the white parts of the bird are very bright

[Frank Schauf]

Nice composition and good expsoure control and sharpness.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Nice photo of this often hard to approach species. Great background, good comp. Looks like it's been working hard judging by the worn plumage.

Hi Robert, I like your low angle of capture, and you captured a super pose too. The Killdeer is well exposed and sharp, and what a sweet BG.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Lovely shooting angle and light. BG is to die for. I would have maybe gone f11 for DOF to get tail and legs a bit sharper. Very nice!

[Ofer Levy]

Lovely image! Excellent techs and killer BG!
