    After all his effort diving into the waves, this was his catch. (Yes, I wish that the head was turned more toward us and from now on my wading boots will be in the car. )

    As before, cool wave, sharp with the right EXP. Head angle wishes noted :)

    Your waders will not be in the car...you will be wearing them!! Good job on the techs, and the wave looks very refreshing.

    Grace:

    I love the curved wave as a framing element here.

    Sharp, well exposed.

    I might consider toning down the brightness of the wave as it heads towards the RUC, just to reduce its tendency to pull our eye out of the frame.

    I have enjoyed this series, Grace.

    Cheers

    Randy

    I like the light and how the wave surrounds the Gull.

    A unique and interesting shot, Grace. Ring-billed gulls are sooooo photogenic; they just love the camera. Light and water are wonderful in this one.
