Only one Dunlin

Here we go...

One Dunlin that is posing for portrait.... What do you think ?

I would like more room at the bottom, less up top, other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.

I love this light and color and the sharp details, excellent work.

Agree, there needs to be more room at the bottom, the legs and feet are somewhere :)

Lovely work.

Nice angle and light. I would put the bird higher in the frame, remove the sheen from the legs and run NR on the BG. Thanks for sharing!

Better. What Carole said, plus getting rid of the grasses and teh schmutz would be an option.

Loved those colours & exposure. Good details too. I might crop off a large chunk from top & provide a little space in the bottom.

Thanks guys... I´m happy to hear you like big parts of the picture..

I am sorry but there is no room on the bottom, and if I would have more room there it would only be dirt.. But next time I´m gona try to get a bit higher so I can lower the camera and get a bit more water on the bottom...

Hi J, Here is what you are missing: if you pointed the lens down to include the "dirt", it would appear as a soft, out of focus band of color... Cuttiing off the virtual feet (the unseen part of the legs and feet that are underwater) does not work for me or for most folks...
