    Default Mussels at the Beach.

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Gull
    D500, 300 f2.8, f8, 1/1600, iso400
    Processed in C1P with hardly any processing.
    Since iso 400, a simple Raw convert, no added sharpening or gimmicks as they say.
    Since BPN is becoming a processing class.
    Back to sun. Early morning, nothing needed.

    You caught a nice clear view of this gull. The lone drop of the mussel is pretty neat.

    Hi Dankreal, very good. sharp and detail. alone, i can't focus on the eye. the body of the bird steals form eye and feed detail. the angle of attraction or the stance of the bird causes this.

    I do understand your point.

    When I first saw it yesterday it pops right off the screen . Good details sharp and excellent head turn. The mussel adds greatly as does the water droplet. TFS Dan.
