This is great Ken. I like images with the bird in habitat and this is great. Like the open beak and cocked head too. Nice detail and exposure.

Unusual bird, with a great look on its face. Posture and pose are very nice. I do not have a problem with the BG. It shows the bird in its environment.

Nice expression on that bird Ken. BG is natural and that's that.

No problem with the bg or habitat that's where it lives, great looking Plover with a good pose.

Except for the black markings, it looks like the rest of this bird would blend into it's surroundings quit easily. Pretty bird, thanks for posting it.

Very cool bird. And a great capture. I agree with Dave -- no problem with the background because that's where the species lives.

Nice, Ken. I like the little cock of the head.
