Hi,

Given the right conditions the north Kent coast can be blessed with magical light, much like Norfolk, this morning all the variables were in place so I set of quite early and was on site for sunrise...

Here is one of the results, taken just after the sun cleared the town...

All the best

Not central enough for me Phil

Seriously nice image Phil, nice contrast in the lighting, tack sharp, nice BG, great PoV and a perfect comp to boot - not that I'd expect anything less

Great image Phil. You're right, it looks like everything came together on this one...plus a teeny bit of skill of course

Superb. The low angle really makes it for me as well as the nice light. Tristan

A lovely light on this sanderling, nice picture.....

This morning was chucking it down at this end of Kent! ;)
You've been digging holes in that shingle again, haven't you Phil.

Nice capture.
