    Fantastic images Charlie, an amazing photo with good sunset colours and I really love how the reflection of the poles goes beyond the edge of the frame, it really add so much to the image and tricks the eye.

  • David Lade

    Excellent image Charlie. Love the horizontal bands of colour at right angles to the poles. The obliging birds top things off!

    This is great from so many angles. The lines and color are beautiful, but I also see an almost comical side to the birds in this. I love it.

    Hey Charlie, beautiful shot! Is that 5 Pelican s, 1 Cormorant and 1 a Curlew? ;)

  • Charlie Sawyer replied

    Thank you. I think 6 pelicans and a cormorant but I could be wrong. The blob in the center is a pelican too, hunkering down. Which one do you think is the curlew? I am not familiar with curlews.

    Hi Charlie, You really don’t need me to tell you what a fab image this is when you have already had so many great comments, but I will anyway. The colours and lighting are excellent, the subjects and placement of them in the image are perfect, composition, focus and attention to fine detail brilliant. Continue to look for the interesting and you will always be well rewarded.
