Dunlin ~ Winter Plumage

[Jim Fenton]

A winter plumage dunlin sitting on a rock among some purple sandpipers this afternoon in late light with the tide coiming in around it.

I like the light, sharpness and setting. Could you have moved a bit to your left?

[Jim Fenton]

No movement possibe....I had to kneel in a tide pool to get this and there was a big boulder nest to me.

Lovely image! Composition looks spot on to me. Here is a re-post with some cooling filter applied.

Man the water looks so nice and refreshing. I'd crop just a little bit below - just enough to hide the darker OOF area in LRC. Looks borderline oversharpened in some areas? Although there is no horizon to judge upon I feel the image may need a tiny bit CCW rotation. Nice light you had, and I like the improved blues of Ofer's repost. I also like the two snails(?)

[James Salywoda]

Excellent shot nice details and light I like the repost.

I like the cooler dunlin but I think the blue water seems too saturated.
I did not notice the snails till it was pointed out. Little details like that add a lot to images.
The rocks with water flowing over them adds a lot.

Very nice photo Jim. Lovely setting and pose. Dave
