Birds- Red Wattled Lapwing

Red Wattled Lapwing or Large Plover is a common wading bird around the wetlands. Always seen in small groups and noisy in nature. It seems the bird sleeps on its back and with legs upwards, and hence in India there is a saying "Tithrise aasamaan thama jayega?" which means Can a pee-wit support the heavens?- popularly used in referring to a person who tries to do a task which is beyond his capability. (info from Wiki).

I loved shooting these birds at Bilikal Reserve Forest near Hampi, Karnataka, India.

    Exposure looks fine to me, may be you can crop little and also play with levels to get good effect.
    Nice image :)

      But, I feel the legs and background are over-exposed.
