A nice capture of this little one Sharon, maybe a tiny bit darker would be even better (on my screen anyway). :toast:

Lovely as presented - looks like soft morning mist or similar light. Very restful.

A terrific image, what I find the most interesting about is not the soft restful water or the subtle ripples in the reflection but the look in the eye. He doesn't look very happy that you're there. :toast:

Nice, Sharon. I like the slightly downcast look from the Plover.

A wonderful shot, Sharon. The light is diffuse without impairing the color of the Plover. Nicely captured and composed; I like the serenity of the image a lot.
