Nice shot showing the face mask to perfection.

I would suggest cropping both top and bottom, so as to increase the emphasis on the plover.

Looking at the image size, I think you would have more options open to you as a landscape, but I’m sure you covered this.

A very nice little study, suspect some would say tight horizontally, but it works for me. Nice one.

A beautiful composition, lovely colour and light - I like it very much.

Beautifully detailed image. I'm not normally over-keen on 'face on' bird images but this really works well.

Great shot Phil. The pose and composition work well as they are for me
