Another from the local Riparian Preserve. I wish I'd been able to back off to get the whole reflection but it happened too fast.

Lovely shot Cindy. Love the red ring around the eye.

Looks very crisp. Quite similar to the Ringed Plover we get here in Ireland (without that mad looking eye!)

Nice shot.

All the best, Gearoid

Beauty Cindy... I love these birds, and they're not very cooperative in our area. Congrats on an excellent image. :)

Cindy,

This is one great picture and one of my favorite compositions. Shorebird in crystal clear water with ripples radiating out from the feet. A favorite composition I strive for. The detail in the bird is great and love the red eye ring.
