Dunlin at Rest

[Jim Fenton]

Beautiful breeding plumage bird resting at Plymouth Long Beach on it's springtime northbound migration.

Nikon D300, 500 AFS~VR and TC14EII. ISO 400, UniWB preset, f8 center weigher metering, +.7 EV compensation.

Great breeding plumage and angle. I'm wondering what it would look like if the bird were further left in the frame.

[Jim Fenton]

This was one of those which was hard to place optimally, so I decided that sort of centered was it...but I will try it with your suggestions later on this evening.

Thanks

Stunning coloring and details, Jim. Another vote for placing the bird on the left, since he;s looking right.

Cute pose and stunning detail and lighting. I too vote for moving it slightly to the left. Fine capture Jim !

Maybe cropped to portrait orientation? Sweet plumage to say the least, Jim.

Great plumage and nice peekaboo look. Another vote for moving the bird left in the frame.
