Superb! Rich colours, great low angle and fantastic background.

Fantastic colour Guy, can't believe the detail you are getting with that lens. Agree the POV is perfect. Just feel perhaps the BG should be less rich to really show off the Lapwings true colours?

Like it, esp the muddy feet....whites look a little bit over but that is more than likely down to compression (and the uncalibrated system I am viewing on at the moment) light is just right to bring out the colouration in the plumage....

This all works very well, the light does look a little hard and has maybe taken the whites over just a touch but I like the colours and POV...

Nice one..

Shows the colours off very well, especially the irridescent wing feathers :toast:

Shows the Lapwing off really nicely. The saturation of the background competes slightly for me but its still excellent :toast:
