Comment | After spending the afternoon crawling through smelly, black mud photographing waders at an isolated regional lake, I began walking back to the bush access track before I got caught in the dark without a light. As I approached the other side of the lake and the sun fell behind the tree line, it cast this beautiful rich golden glow that lit up a large muddy pool on the lake’s edge. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted a Pied Stilt wading towards the pool and not wanting to miss the shot I hustled closer, dropped on my belly and shot a single frame – this is it. The tree line gives scale to the scene and a sense of habitat, there is rim-lighting around the Stilt, the water and droplet in the Stilt’s beak glistens in the sunset. Adding to all these elements is the key requirement for this competition, a reflection of the bird. | ||||||||||||||||||
