    Default Time at the beach....

    Yet another image of the Dunlin from last weekend. Sorry, I can't help it:)
    I like the water drop on the tip of the bill...
    I warmed up a bit (fill flash gave me very cold light) and cloned out bokeh and bunnies...

    CC appreciated.

    Droplet a wonderful touch. For me it is just a little tight all around. Nice and sharp though with excellent detail! Thanks for sharing.

    Ilija, I dig that you are another shorebird lover like me. I am fine with the framing here. This one is miles better than the one from last week with the seaweed up it butt! Love the clean BKGR, the very good HA, the EXP, and the SH. You might consider losing the specular highlights at the base of the bill--I hate bill-shine!

    Nicely done. The framing is OK with me. I like the water drop and HA.

    Yes, very much, the ID challenge is enough for any birdwatcher to love shorebirds.

    Actually I already toned the shine down, could get rid of it completely.
    Thank you Artie, appreciated.
