A couple of locals making the most of it.

Nice shot of the gull there !!!

Both nice images. The second very interesting with the bird shot against the pooling shallow water (it makes for very interesting bokeh - not the normal flat sky - cool) - how would it look with the top part (the rocks) chopped off (and maybe a little more water cloned in a bit at the top)

Hi Rodney,
I wondered the same thing and actually made a sample. It was very marginal as it is a HUGE crop already so decided not to use it.
I was shooting surfers from a high vantage point. when this guy zoomed past me. Anyway here is, basically what it looks like. I suppose I could clone out the rocks but then... Maybe next time.

Same bird ....

Great images of the bird (sorry can't be sure of the exact species) in flight
