From last Sunday, headed out to get brent geese, but missed my train and timed the tides all wrong and to top it all it started raining the moment i arrived, anyway found a few turnstones and so settled for them instead, unfortunately the rain doesn't show up against the bright background

Well despite the rain and no Brent Geese you came back with a fine image Jack. Love the raindrops and the processing looks fine as well.

Dont despair at the rain Jack its added a bit of extra to your Turnstone.
You cant go up to one of these with a squirty thing to add a few droplets of water.
Pebble beaches are always a bit of a nightmare but youve done well.

Hi Jack,

Great shot of a very skittish bird! The rain seemed to have worked in your favour here!

Hi Jack
Love these little characters, really like the way you have controlled the DOF.

Nice

I like this Jack. He looks about as miffed as I imagine you were after all that went on!
