As I finished an hour of taking ocean photos, I walked back up to the car, just in time to see two seagulls dive into a beach bag and fly off with lunch! I snapped my photos, and too late the girls looked up and started screaming at the gulls!
For the first time I got crisp, clear photos of the gulls (in flight...the little buggers!) and there was all the background clutter. At last I've found a good reason to throw in texture and feature my feathered friends!
I really love the mystery that the texture brings. There is a great 3D effect and I like the vintage feel. In fact I can say that this ticks every box!
Holy cow, Louise! Great use of texture! Kind of amusing about the gulls making off with the food, too. I've had similar experiences with crows invading the golf cart.
