Dunlin

[Rob Melone]

This image of a Dunlin was captured during an overcast sky on the south side of the inlet jetty at Barnegat light, NJ. I set my ISO at 200 in order to help reduce noise under low light and removed my teleconverter for better image design.

Nice, I like it. Beautiful little bird.

Lovely detail there in the Dunlin. I'd be tempted to lose a little off the bottom and the left to try and balance things a little, but I do like the low POV

[Richard Flack]

Great image Rob, cool bird. If it was mine (and there was space available), I would take more off the bottom & add to the top and take more from the left & give to the right. TFS

Nice shot of this little beautiful bird. Exposure and detail look great and I like the pose too. Too bad about the OOF rock on the rt but still a keeper in my book. Well done

Love the water color here.
The little bird looks sweet and the IQ is very good.
This is one of those rare times when I wish you were a bit higher to get rid of the OOF rock on the right and more of the beautiful ocean ad BG,

Love the details here. the pose is also perfect. i would also crop a little off the bottom and left and give some more room on the right for compo. but a really well done image here.

Very nice IQ, Rob. Like the pastel quality you captured. Good detail on this beauty, and don't mind the soft rock in foreground.
