Spring is coming
First godwits have arrived. Their call in the morning or evening is something I really enjoy. Can't wait to spend lots of time with them.

That's certainly an image to brighten up a cool Winter's evening. :cool: :toast:

Lovely shot of a godwit Edwin. Nice tones and sun patterns in the background make this for me.

Winter is still hanging on. I set my landscape photography up by the fact that it normally snows for the last time in the 3rd week of March in Scotland.

Nicely done Ed , a tadge harsh in the transitions in colour but beautifully composed and shot.
Posted by Ian Macdermott on March 10, 2010 at 5:31 AM
A very well thought out shot well composed but I agree with Mark about the background transitions.

Love the graphic composition but I think those colours are maybe just a tad too strong for me.

Nits covered but a wonderful idea and shot nonetheless..

Very nice, but the saturation is a wee bit to much, but it does stand out.
