 Surreal, yes, Dreamy? Um, maybe, maybe not. Nightmare? Yeah. Set up the camera and took random shots of folks who approached the plover sign, oblivious to its presence. It was fun on a foggy afternoon.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

A lovely shot, Alice, nice comp and suitable spooky lighting but scratching my head over the surreal and dreamy part. The sign is a great touchpoint, has you looking for the birds. Looks like random guy is giving the birds the bird? I just see too many disparate elements here all competing for the voter's eye, and the guy is competing with the sign imnsho.

Hope this helps

Susan
