Looks spot on Jonathan. I like the vegetation, oof background and the overall natural 'feel' of the composition. The only tiny concern I have is what appears to be a bit of oof vegetation in front of the bird's right foot which I expect could be fixed with a light burn. Regards, Ian

A pleasing image. I like the vegetation both in focus and out of focus showing the environment. Exposure, color and detail appear spot on, as Ian wrote. Thank you for sharing.

Really nice image of this shorebird. The bird looks good so is the habitat.

A great looking Dunlin Jonathan, I like the detail & POV.

Lovely inclusion of habitat. Excellent sharpness on the plumage of this beautiful juvenile. I find this image to be very pleasing.

Hi Jon, seems like you are having fun with these guys at this location. Another good low shooting angle, sharp, and I do like all the various colours in the image.

Very lovely!
It´s always great to see an image of a bird in its natural habitat just like in this one!
Thanks for sharing this one!

The plumage on this Dunlin is awesome. I never get to see this species in this plumage....jealous. You do a real nice job photographing shorebirds in the context of their habitat. Nice use of space. The ripples around the birds feet look like the water line needs some clockwise rotation, but then the bubble areas on the top of the water look perfectly level...water is tricky.
