That’s nice Ron, one of my favourite sea birds; they would follow my fishing boat for mile hoping for a few titbits then let anything we threw them sink as they argued with each other.

An excellent bit of interaction captured here. :cool:

Ron if you have used any NR, then you have not masked the birds out, as there is no detail/definition apart from shadows? They look almost like marble or highly polished, likewise the rocks behind, not pitting or grain. The only reason I say this as someone did the same thing elsewhere. Just a thought.
