No chips in this salt!
Kentish Plover lost in the salt pans, as bad as snow.

Really delicate and quite lovely as a result! The foot-up pose is great. I love empty space in pictures and this really works for me.

i agree with Johns comments, the empty neutral space works well. with the sligth ripple around the bird.

Hi Paul, I am beginning to like these kind of pictures as I always tried to go for frame fillers. Well done. :toast:

Sometimes less is more. This is a case in point, I like it.

I do like it Paul - the Plover could be sharper, but as I said, I like it. Chrs, Graham. :toast:

Hi Paul

Doesn't quite work for me. I think had the bird been sideways on, giving a stronger outline, and either a little higher or lower in the frame it would have - just my view!

Agree with Dave, needs to be more side on but still a strong image and the style is super
