EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking print captured by Toby Melville, a mesmerizing scene unfolds as birds roost in trees at sunrise near the picturesque coastline of The Wash near Snettisham in east Britain. It is February 12,2016, and nature's spectacle is on full display as high tides compel thousands of wading birds like Knot and Oystercatcher to seek refuge from the mudflats inland until the receding tide reveals their feeding grounds once again. The image showcases the sheer beauty of this natural phenomenon against a backdrop of an enchanting morning sky. Sun rays pierce through the air, casting ethereal shadows on both bird and branch alike. As these wild creatures take flight, their silhouettes create a striking contrast against the vibrant colors painted across nature's canvas. This photograph not only captures a fleeting moment but also serves as a reminder of our delicate environment and its intricate web of life. With no human presence in sight, it allows us to appreciate the untouched splendor that exists beyond our daily routines. Toby Melville's creative use of light and composition transports us into this serene landscape where wildlife thrives harmoniously with its surroundings. It encapsulates the essence of dawn breaking over The Wash – a symphony orchestrated by nature itself.
