[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another shot of Little Ringed Plover. When he is searching for some food, he stamps his feet in the mud to disturb the tiny creatures. Little annoyed organism try to escape. This is the time for Plover quick foots. It is hard to see him to stay on one place.

Hope you understand my english, enjoy the photo.

Petr :-)

ah this is a much better shot and I love the reflection, all very crisp etc. I think you mean, he stamps his feet in the mud to disturb the tiny creatures.

Hi Peter,
Overall very well done.
I like the isolation through DOF. Great reflection too...
A bit puzzled about the blurred 'line' though.

Hi Petr,
Excellent low POV on this image with great use of DOF to isolate the bird. Reflection well caught and adds well to the image.
