Sanderling
Well as everybody else is posting Sanderlings i thought i would stick one up from this side of the pond, Taken a few weeks ago on a North Carolina beach, There is a distant bird to the right that bugs me so may clone it out

Hi Dave, super image with wonderful colour, didn't see the shape of the distant bird, but now you've pointed it out it bugs me as well :toast:

Well I can see it Dave but it isn't bugging me at all. A lovely colourful image with a nice blurred reflection.

Hi DC, like the simplicity & colours, very cool :toast: Just wondered if the 'white' shere and 'bits' to the right were removed so you just have the great blues it might help? WDYT?

BTW it's still snowing here :biggrin:

Hey Dave,

This shot is beautiful! the colour of the water is fantastic. I'm not to fussed about the bird o the RHS, it adds some reality I think.

Sorry, doesn’t quite work for me, too much blue, even to the point of migrating onto the Sanderling. Love the idea tho’.

A really beautiful image, Dave. The simplicity and tranquillity is very effective here. And the oof bird doesn't bother me. :smile: :smile:
