Seaside joker
Taken a few days ago on a very cold, grey day on the NE coast. Not a stunner subject wise, but quite a nice character shot. Not being too bright, the dull background and light has held the detail quite well IMHO. Full frame 300 2.8 MK3.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the C&Cs. It was just one of those moments when you least expect such a reaction. Think he was impressed that the MK3 could capture such a moment, I certainly was! :jump:

Now you can see from this why its easy for them to gobble down such huge items.
Kind of makes you shudder if you were its chosen food item. :toast:
