Had a great time with the Gulls this morning. Finally finding the right places at the right times around a nearby lake.
Details: Nikon D850+Sigma 500/4, HH, 1/2500, 6.3, ISO 800, C1P rad, PS CCC 2018 post+NR+SS output.

Nice Moody Image with Black Back Ground.

I like the reflection and sharp eye.

Thanks for sharing.

Jay:

My first thought when I saw this was: nice moody feel to it, so I agree with Krishna.
Dramatic pose, I like the gold/orange ripples which give a bit of depth to the image as they recede.
Flying drops.

Nice.

Cheers

Randy

Jay, I love the contrast between the dark BG and the subject. As the others have pointed out, the color in the ripples is great. Thanks for sharing.
