Excellent profile image of beautiful plover with backlight and in beautiful habitat. I like the gold flecks and grass.
Beautiful colour scheme and composition.

Regards,
Satish.

Hi Dan, love the detail colours on this fellow, and you certainly managed a great angled pose. The light looks nice and soft, and maybe a touch more space at the bottom and RHS. :w3

Striking image, Dan. Love the pose, eye contact, and the low shooting angle.

That's beautiful....nice use of the light angle. If you don't have more room at the bottom (or have composed to eliminate something), I would consider a crop from the top to balance.
