Dunlin

[Aditya Sridhar]

As much as I love photographing Dunlins and Plovers in flight, they sure do dent my self-confidence as I can only manage to get 1 in 20 frames sharp! Of course, that won't stop me from trying over and over :t3 Love these tiny shorebirds!

Very nice capture of this speedster. Like the wing positions, and caught just before passing you. Lovely shade of blue/gray sea background.

Nice Head Angle and placement of the subject in the frame.

Not easy that's for sure! Apart from wishing the front wing was higher, this is pretty darn good. I love the pale blue BG.

Nothing harder than getting a small shorebird in flight! I am impressed with your keeper rate of 1/20. Mine is more like 1/100!!:Whoa!:
Nice light, sharp and goosdwing position.
Whites look good (so easy to blow them).

Nice flight pose of this speedy little bird. Framing is right on as well. Nice detail on the bird.
