Winter - 38

Winter - 38 (Pluvialis sqatarola)

Winter ...

It was day-break ... Sun
sending near-horizontal
rays ...
... the beach was
covered with
broken shells and
gravel ... sharp ... almost
like fine glass pieces ...
piercing the sole ...
and I had to walk three
quarters of a km. to
reach within a reasonable
distance to have a
presentable shot ...
... blood collecting under
the skin of my feet as
I gingerly walked bare-feet
... leaving my waterproof
shoes in the hotel-room ...

Kunal ( local birder friend )
and Renu were much wiser
though ...

... But ... about half a
dozen fabulous lifer species
along with
this pretty one were a
huge reward ...
Watch these lovely
winter-visitors
in a small video-clip ...

What a beautifully composed image this is! A smashing closeup guys.
 
This is a super shot. Very well captured and nicely framed. Thanks for sharing.
 
I hope your feet have recovered, Alok. Worth the pain to get such a beautiful image - so nicely posed and composed.
 
No pain, no gain, Alok! Excellent capture, superb detail & light, and love the water - brilliant!
 
Oh!! Fantastic photograph Alok & Renu!!! Sorry I have not been on lately, the broadband keeps on crashing!!
Dick.
