I like the raised foot -- looks like it could use some straightening -- the Dunlin looks to me like he is about to fall over backwards. Maybe just my eyes but easy enough to do for a look see

The ground level perspective and the sweet light make it special.

I like this Antonio - the warm rich colors of the Dunlin against the cool blues of the FG & BG, the soft warm light and the wonderful catchlight. Excellent detail and sharpness - well done.

Nice low angle and mid-stride capture Antino. Like the eye contact also.

cheers

Beautiful shot, Antino. I like very much the pose of the bird with the raised foot, lightened by the warm light at dawn and framed from a very low angle against a solid BG ! Very well done.

I really enjoy the warm light on the bird with the coolness of the setting Antino. Like the almost dancing pose also. Rotation looks fine to my eye.

Antino, Great shot. I like the composition and light. They really show off the Dunlin. The pose is outstanding. The Dunlin seems to be tippy toeing up on a meal. Beautiful.

Cute shot Antino, I like the pose with the foot up and the head turn. Nice background.
