A delightful Dunlin taken a couple of weeks ago at Milford on sea.
Thanks for looking.

Great shot. Beautiful light and IQ. Fine feather detail and a clear focused eye.

[David Cowling]

Great feather detail and the whites well handled. The bird sits well in it's environment. If I were being really picky I might suggest losing the small green patch to the right of the bird. Lovely image.

Excellent image.
Nice pose with erect feather on back, beautiful colors and lovely composition.

I like the resting pose with the raised back feathers, pretty cool. A bit more room to the left would have helped the comp IMO, and I do find the image oversharpened as posted, with crunchy details on the face.

Thanks for comments, I did sharpen the head more Daniel, on reflection it probably didn't need it.
