I took this shot at Nickerson Beach at Long Island in NY.As I headed to the beach it was very cloudy and windy.I took my chance and landed on the beach,lo and behold,the clouds gave way to the sun to shine and I was a happy beachgoer.
Sanjeev - very nice capture. The skimmer is well defined from the background, but I would still consider a bit more contrast to help him pop a bit more. Otherwise it looks great!
Beautiful BG, fish is a nice bonus although I agree with Gail that is is too bad its' face is not towards us. I'd be careful adding contrast here as the deepest blacks and lighter whites are already close to the edges of the histogram...I'd actually try to tone down the brighter whites a tad.
