[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Siksak is the hebrew name of 'Spur-winged plover', we can find this bird usually near water, we can see that on her (very) long legs, this one I managed to catch while sitting in the car, the light was very poor, but the IS (image stabllizer) on the lens helped me a lot to catch nice profile image of this bird, fortunatly the background was blue reflection on a water which had a good contrast to the subject.

A very good work with high definition and great DOF. Congratulations ..

amazing photo of a beautiful bird, very good DOF

What a great portrait it's so sharp and the background is beautiful the sun hitting the bird's legs looks very warm and gives this picture a nice feeling.

Bravo.

That's a very nice bird this Siksak and as you, I like very much that blue water behind. Very nice picture, Elroyie!

Wonderful shot, Elroyie. I also have a photo of a Siksak, I see many of them these days. This angle shows very well the long long legs. Very well captured.

Good nature photo, I like this nice eye and thin legs :)

This bird is beautiful. I love all the colours and the fact that the definition on the bird is so clear. Excellent. I also love the small ray of sunlight giving the pebbles and his legs a warm glow.
