Lapwing
Sometimes you see a Lapwing in the water. I even have one shot of a swimming Lapwing:) I think this looks quite nice with this low POV. The exposure is on the edge.
iso 200 1/320 sec. F7.1

Hi Edwin,

What a beauty! Stunning detail and colours for an exposure on the edge! :wink:

Nice one Ed - good PoV :toast:

Light looks a bit harsh, you could have done with turning the active d lighting up a notch, just like I DIDN'T DO yesterday either :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: call me numpty :jump: :jump:

Beautiful capture of the iridescent plumage, maybe due to the strong lighting. Excellent.

Shame about the harsh light and no legs :smile: but still a lovely shot - first time I've seen a photo of a Lapwing in water

As you say exposure on the edge, but certainly a different view of this female (I think).
