Pebble Buntings

Ok so they are Snow Buntings, probably somewhere in the region of 16 birds in the flock but 8 was all I managed in one shot. They really do hide themselves well amongst the pebbles.

Hi Tony,

I think this is excellent. Having spent most of yesterday morning chasing Corn buntings in a car , I can only imagine what it must be like on a pebble beach! The pano crop and composition of the birds is spot on as is the colour, showing how well their plumage matches their habitat.

Where was this taken? I really would like to get some of these on file before they depart.

Regards

Rob

very nice setting and comp, the pano crop works well

Fantastic capture. It took me a moment to actually see the birds. I would crop more off the sky to eliminate the light stuff, emphasising the superb colours.

Hi very nice and the comp looks good to.

Hi Rob

The shot was taken yesterday at Sandwich Bay, Kent.

Tony

Nice shot sharp DOF and a fantastic subject, I like it.

This is a really nice image - composition is spot on. Lots to look at too.

Pano crop works very well as does the low shooting angle. Lots going on with a good field of view and enough DOF to render the detail in almost all of the birds. Like this a lot.

Excellent - really shows them well in their habitat

Best Snow Bunting image I've seen recently. This is INTERESTING! A nicely arranged group with no birds cut in half at the edges, one bird interacting with the camera and the centre bird presiding over it all. All complimented by the panoramic crop. Super job!

Hi Tony,

Cracking capture. The pano crop works really well here. Nice one!

Wow I think it has all been said but VWD

Yeah cool shot. Pano works really well

Great shot! Subject, background, composition and crop all work for me.
