Great look at this sandpiper, May. Getting on your stomach payed off. The low POV looks great. Very nice job with the exposure, the whites look really good. Not sure how you fell about cloning, but I would be tempted to remove the two large specular highlights just left of the bird's bill.

Very nice detail and the low angle makes this one May, nice job. I could see taking out the specular highlights as well.

I rather like the faint highlights, May, Super low angle and I especially like the feel of the bird on the move.

A very nice pose and perfect dof, May. If this were mine, I think I'd add a touch of blur to the oof bg areas-they just look like they could stand some extra smoothing to really boost this image.

Looks like you had your yoga matts with you again May! Nice low POV and good techs on this.
