Hi All,

Another from my Bempton trip. If you take the time and look at so many birds in one place, they soon make up patterns and shape's and do things than can make images a bit more interesting and different (IMO anyway......... :biggrin: )

Off in the Caravan upto Norfolk for a long weekend with the family, so see you next week peeps :wavey:

Regards

Rob

Nice one Rob.
To be honest I reckon the main bird "beefed" up a bit would be good on its own.
Cheers

a nice image Rob, although it looks a bit dark on my monitor. Hope you have a good weekend.

Very dark on my monitor Rob, and the histogram also shows it to be dark, Just an RGB levels adjust to 1, 1.04 and 192 makes a huge difference and brings the shot to life, I am sure a little more PP will make this into quite a nice image.

Nice image. Nits covered; interested to see what it looked like with just the main bird too. I was there a couple of days after you in the end .. just in time for a day of horizontal rain and a day of heavy cloud. Never even saw the sea from the cliff tops :frown: At least I now know what I might have seen !!
