    Lots of breeding activity at F. de Soto. I watched this pair in action from start to finish. Cleaned up the beach a lot (maybe it's too clean). +2/3 for light BG and harsh light even at 8AM.
    1D Mark III, 500 lens, ISO 400, f/9 @1/2500.

    The shadow is a distraction, but it doesn't look real without it.

    Wow Susan she took the fish !!!!! I guess that was the greenlight for Mr Skimmer. Great captured moment.

    Like the image and am fine with the shadow. Surprised that the color balance is way off, too, too red...

    I used Robert O'Toole's average blur trick to balance the color but it overdid it (too blue) so I went back on the opacity slider... How does the repost look?
