| Comment | Getting out of bed early and short drive up the beach at sunrise was rewarded with a magical landscape of stunning colours and rain. A group of spoonbills were just starting to wake up and preen to begin a new day. As the drizzle began to fall I zoomed out to capture this "birdscape". The background hills provided balance to the overall composition. There is also foreground, middle ground and background interest thanks to birds, landscape layers and moody weather. I have attempted to not go overboard with the noise reduction to retain the appearance of the atmospheric conditions. | ||||||||||||||||||
