Hi Ken
Thank you for giving us a photograph of this Plover. I like the reflection and color detail.

Nice detail in the bird and sweet light, Ken. I think this would work better with some of the top cropped off-probably down into the tops of the central reeds to remove the effect of that red dirt bank at the top which tends to dominate the image.
