    Another from Barrow, Alaska in June. Bird was attracted by audio.

    A great bird to start with...
    While I like the comp with the reflection, I also think an ice only comp shows off the bird really well.

    Love it as is. I've only ever seen winter-plumaged individuals so this has that much more impact for me. Great techs to bring out the best in the ice details.

    Hi Grace, well exposed on the Bunting, and good detail on the ice too. I just love these wintery/icy BG's.

    Very nice Grace.
    The ice and water look great.
    I am still trying to decide if I like the placement of the bunting. Will have to revisit it later and decide for sure!
    Exposure is perfect and love the lookback pose.
    You did well in Barrow!!

    Lovely image, Grace. Beautiful bird, the snow/ice resembles the wall of a glacier. Nice look back, thank you for sharing.

    They look so different in breeding plumage. Great pose and perch, Grace.
