Eight Seagulls and a Dolphin!

When I reviewed the photos I took at the beach yesterday, I found this one and remembered I had seen a big flock of seagulls an one point. The shot was out of focus so I was ready to discard it but then I noticed something dead center in the frame. I was astounded. It’s faint but if you look closely, it’s a dolphin. That could be what attracted the seagulls. Anyway, I played a bit in Photoshop to try to rescue the shot. I’ve never seen a dolphin that close to the beach! Best viewed on black.

very cool edit

Actually, it kind of works with the birds out of focus - kind of portrays motion. The texture is a nice touch, and a great rescue choice. ;-)

It turned out to be a wonderful painting, well done with the faffing.

Fantastic looking image overall, and that dolphin is really a treat! I love the detail in the crest of the wave as well.
