A composite, background a bland boring plain blue so a cloudy one put in with the aid of CS5's wonderful new masking, perhaps too much of a studio feel but I like it.

I like this, Tim. For more realism you might think about increasing the brightness of the sky layer and perhaps also reducing the definition of the clouds a bit. You've caught the oystercatcher really well with some great lighting on it. Nice work.

Agree with Rob and do like this a lot!
Bit big in the frame but that enhances the special feeling this image has also.

Looking at this I feel as though the picture was taken whilst flying along side the OC. Not sure quite what gives that impression, but I like it.
