This group of Dunlin settled at hight tide in Norfolk last week when the wind dropped and a reflective mirror like surface appeared. I never quite got the isolated individual or small group I'd have liked, but think this little group gives a decent feel of the conditions and works well too.

It is a nice image but find the set up of the birds a bit confusing, my eyes wander to the oof birds.

Really like this, the reflections are awesome as is the open eye and the glint, but i agree with Rene, the OOF birds are a little distracting IMO.

Beautiful light, and glass like reflection! The Oof birds to the top and right don't other me, its just the slightly less oof bird on the left that seems to draw the eye, but its still a lovely image with great compostion!

Beautyfull image. Even the reflection is almost razor sharp.

Beautiful, a slight move to the left? Although that may not have possible, I dont mind the background at all.

Hi Mark
Although the OOF BG is busy I feel the bird in sharp focus is strong enough to take the BG!
