    Grey Plover in Knot Roost

    3:1 crop of FF.
    600mm/Tpod
    1~10th/800ASA/F4
    USM applied universally which actually makes the unsharp Knot even more unsharp :-)

    Taken at Snettisham pits this October just before sunrise (hence the ASA) on what was a drab cold morning. This poor bird was alone admist 10000's of knot that where moving around constantly - it was rock still.

    The birds come into the pits looking to get away from the highest spring tides; there where about 30000 knot in the pit and they all left at the same time as a sparrow hawk flew over - pity I had a 600mm on the camera

    Hi and big welcome, Tom!

    I like this very much, the repetitive pattern of the bills as background and the isolated Plover, well placed, make for a very appealing image. If anything, I would tone down the sharpening on the Plover a bit, since the whites seem almost fluorescent.

    Good eye to see and execute this!

    This is a remarkable photograph. Good execution of a unique situation, and the resulting image evokes an emotional response on different levels. Amazing that the plover stayed perfectly still while all the red knots were moving. I agree with Fabs' suggestion about less sharpening on the plover.
