    It's tough to isolate a single Dunlin from the flock of hundreds sleeping on the Barnegat Jetty. This one took a peek as I was lying down on the rocks, right at my minimum focusing distance, just before sunset one day last week.

    Love the light and the hint of the eye.

    Nice perch and well composed with lovely light and BG!
    Excellent detail but bordering on oversharpening for my taste.
    Would prefer body be a bit more towards parallel for this type of image and wish eye was opened a bit further.

    Bill, really warm afternoon light here, and I like how the eye is slightly open. Good feather detail throughout, sharp, and well placed in the frame.

    Hi Bill , love the warm light and exceptional feather detail in this one. Lovely image of a bird at rest but still with a watchful eye. Nice comp and capture.

    Cute pose and capture w/ the clean BG. Not always easy on the rocks! The softer light is very nice but it looks like it could go a tad lighter. I like this one a lot.
