off of Sandy Neck beach October 27. Hundreds of water fowl just bobbing in the water. This photo portrays just a small slice of the immense population. A wide angle lens would of been much better on capturing the scope of the population. A download and then magnification shows detail much better.

Erik, this is a very interesting photograph. There seems to be an unmarked boundary past which the vast population prefers to stay beyond. This is a great observational photograph.

You got that right. How do birders ever count these high numbers? Thanks WT for looking in and commenting. vz

Great use of the "Rule of thirds", including only 1/3 of the birds is only the half of it.... (good grief, to quote Peanuts. Too much coffee I think). Beautiful rendering. The tones in this image are restful and the whole is a very pleasing result. Please stay well and keep on sharing.
