Careful Steps

This juvenile Little Ringed Plover was carefully stepping on the mud, looking for insects. Taken in last daylight, the water made for some special reflection ...

Thanks for viewing and have a nice sunday crying ,

Very nice use of backlighting. Combined with the low angle you have a striking fortrait of this young bird.

I like the FG on this one much more than the last post of this guy Hans because I can see his legs this time. The the backlight and calm water. Makes for a nice peaceful feeling.
