Hi, All:
This shot taken this afternoon, from sandflat of Beidaihe.......
Enjoy spending an hour a group of Grey Plover, but flushed by a rude Moter biker.
Thanks for looking.

Stunning shot, Juanli!! :) Like the low angle, and unique use of the shallow depth of field. Beautiful bg too. Were you lying on the sandflat when you took this picture?

The BG is just great - wonderful pose and tack sharp, too. Well done! I've had a similar experience with non-nature public flushing a subject from perfect perch, and their ignorance was most annoying!

A most excellent shot. All the elements (subject, action, BG and crop) working well together. :)

I love the stretch, Juanli. Nobody else has mentioned this so its probably just my monitor, but the whites on the rump appear to be blown. Otherwise this is a great image and I like the pano crop a lot. Nice job.

Hi Juanli

I like the way the plover is mostly within the blue 'filling' of the BG sandwich. On my monitor the whites don't look blown, but as presented at this size, detail is difficult to discern anyway.
