Attachment 149209
Shot in November 2014 in New Jersey, this Black Scoter standing at the water's edge reminded me of a scene so often shown in movies where someone is standing alone thinking gravely about something. I have hence given it a color treatment to accentuate the idyllic mood, though not a very strong one. I wished to express the loneliness of the bird (ok that's a romantic way of putting it :w3), contrasting with the usual sighting of this species (AFAIK) in flocks and out in the sea.
Shot with a Nikon D7000 w/ 300mm f/2.8 ED IF (non AF-I, AF-S or VR). 1/750s, f/4.8 @ ISO 100
