Lapwing (aka Green Plover)

Plenty of Lapwings around us at the moment. I wanted to capture one on some fresh spring (Green) growth and this one obliged for a short while.

Thanks for looking

700mm, ISO 200, 1/250s, 7.1

I like the angle you have got on this, and the colouring is gorgeous. Possibly just a tad dark around the eye.

Hello Marcus.

Lovely Lapwing image and the setting is great.

I would agree with David to life the eye a little its probably fine on the larger image, but just needs a boost for this size.

Really nice Marcus, just the right amount of mush and you've captured those rainbow colours on the wings really well. Nit covered about the shadow

Here's a link to a slightly bigger version. It isn't noticeable on the full frame but I can understand the comments on the resize.
