Snow on the beach
From Malibu Lagoon, this snowy was foraging in the surf at sunset. I evicted some very bright specular highlights and toned down the highlights of the water at the top of the image.
7D, EF400mm f/5.6L
Manual mode, f/5.6@1/5000 ISO 400 WB 5100K
AI Servo autofocus, hand-held no flash

Kerry, the whites on this are beautiful and that dark blue water really sets them off nicely. I find the top 1/3 of the image a bit distracting as it doesn't flow as nicely as the rest of the water. I'm wondering if you sampled the blue water and then did a wash with a soft brush at a low opacity if that would help it blend in just a bit more? Otherwise, I really like this...especially the movement in the feet and the angle of his body/head.
Jules, great idea! I'll give it a try and post here. Thanks!

Re-post with sand removed
Used a brush in color mode as Jules suggested on the upper part of the image, where sand was washing in with the surf.

Hi Kerry- I don't see how this can be improved. I really like it as presented. I could reel off all the techs but everything from the light to the sharpness are spot on.
