[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As has been noted before, the plover is an Australian waterbird that does not seem to have a particularly vibrant sense of humour, or social life.

Here, I would suggest for the first time on TL, is a glimpse inside the kitchen of a plover.

In the kitchen, on one of the walls (the one on the left as you go through the door), the plover has a pinboard where it keeps photos of itself.

You will note that all photos, except the main one, depict the plover alone. The large photo does provide a glimmer of hope, however.

One can only hope that a real friendship will develop with the swan.


PP: several layers, saturation modification, merge layers, USM.

Hi Peter

I like the dynamism added by the tilt & the superb juxtapositioning of the plover & black swan. The pinned snapshots in the corners are arw nice touch. Superb sharpness. Tfs!

Hi Peter,
This is a very interesting way of presenting the plover very well captured in vibrant colours. TFS.

hi peter
au premier coup d'oeil j'ai cru que l'oiseau avait deux bec!mais non tout va bien.

Not just a ordinary photo

Funny the way you show it

Lol Peter even those I attempt to take photos of seem anti social, there maybe a pair together but they still seem apart. Great PP work, well presented. TFS,
David
PS Many thanks for your comment on Aerial Symmetry
Amazing what a trip to the local rubbish tip can provide :)

Wow what a beauty you have here Peter
I love the way you compiled the images, it looks terrific, the birds in each corner of the photos adds perfection to the image.
Very nicely presented
Bravo

Peter, I haven't visited your photos for a while - and you have some super photos. Very impressive I think.
And your pretty Plover here, standing so sharp and detailed in front of the soft old swan. I can see 5 excellent shots in this unusual collage. And what a great way you have done it. Bravo, bravo!
Janice

Hi Peter,

A beautiful presentation! Excellent DOF with the swan! The plover has vibrant colours & sharp details. I really like the pinboard idea :)

Well done and of course very well presented :)

Hello Peter!

Catching up visiting my fellow members after our vacation! Boy there is a lot of great stuff published lately. I have missed a lot of good work.
I love this original PP here. Nicely thought and presented. Colorful montage. The red nose of the swan is a great help in that result.
Cheers!
Robert
