Photographed on my local beach at Reculver on a bright, sunny morning without a cloud in the sky. I have toned the contrast down a bit, but otherwise this is pretty much as seen other than a slight sharpening.

Details:

Nikon D200 with 50-500mm Sigma at 420mm
Rated at 400asa, 1/350th at f9 using aperture priority

Thanks for looking

I like it too. I would just do something with those small highlights above its head.
