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.
Charlie Sawyer replied
Thanks for the thoughtful comments.
David Lade
Excellent image Charlie. Love the horizontal bands of colour at right angles to the poles. The obliging birds top things off!
Charlie Sawyer replied
Thanks for the thoughtful comments.
CraigsMom
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.
Charlie Sawyer replied
Thank you so much! Charlie

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.
kristiane
Marvellous shot!
Charlie Sawyer replied
Thank you!
Flinders
That was a pun…for the one in the middle (curlew) hehe
But Curlews are waders…

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.
