    Default Drying off the wings...

    Captured this image off the coast of Island beach state park in NJ, it was a wonderful time kayaking out to a little sandbar where we parked the yaks, got out and sat on our own private little sand bar... just absorbing it all in. We seen so many different species this day, great times to remember.

    Chad:

    Excellent pose, love the water spray. Sounds like you had a nice time of it.

    I might try a version with a small crop from the bottom.

    Cheers

    All good as above. What are the dark shadows at the top? (I do not mind them at all.)

    Thanks Artie, I believe that is where the water brake was, it was much deeper there so it was darker water, the other water was very sandy bottom.

    Thanks Chad. I am a big fan of top and bottom strips (though I am often alone on that) .
