    Manual Fill Flash at -2

    Removed flash catch light and a few splotches in the ocean background that looked like large dust spots.

    Photographed a couple weeks ago in La Jolla, CA.

    Looking forward to your comments and critiques!

    A classic, with good head angle and clean water BG. I wonder if going 1/3 darker may give it more punch?

    Great one, nice colors, BG color too, but the comp and pose are
    what really stands-out here. Very cool birds.

    Like the pose, background, sharpness and subject isolation.

    This one looks like a good case for some linear burn on the lighter portions selectively?
