This was shot at Myrtle Beach, SC on New Year's weekend '05. Me and the bird were the only ones up this early

Not from my Nikon...I had my trusty Oly E-10 with me (the Nikon was still on my wish list).

Nice image, but with a bit more saturation, would look amazing.

Good work.

Thank you, Steve, for the suggestion. Perhaps this is closer to "a bit more saturation".

Also, I enjoyed your explanantion of Crop Factor in your tutorial. I was having a hard time figuring out what the sales people were talking about. I asked them point blank, "If this is a true TTL camera, how can a 200mm focal length "magically" become 300mm?"

They'd look blankly and stare and repeat "You see, this has a 1.5x focal multiplier..." blah blah....

Sales Training! Anyway, heres the updated pic...

The added saturation looks fantastic! A very nice image. Welcome to the forum, by the way! Looking forward to more pics in the future!

Added saturation has lifted the pic tremendously

I agree. Looks very beautiful when colours are saturated.

If by Oyster catcher, you mean Rat with Wings, then yes, it is a seagull.

I have lived in North Carolina for 10 years and this January was the first time I had been to the beach. I like it best when there are no crowds.
