Sunset Plover

After rave reviews of my last plover image, I got out last evening around sunset to try and improve - I'm pretty happy with the results but there are many more shots I would like.

Added canvas to right, Cropped to 5 X 3 (70% of original), 3 minor healing brush applications to the water, Sharpned, Noise redux on BG

Nikon D300s 300 f4 + 1.7X TC HH crouched
f/8
1/800s
ISO 800
-.33 EC

Another gorgeous plover shot. Love the light and the nice low angle. I am turning green with envy.

Excellent low angle and sweet light. I like the way the bird floats on the photo.
