Challenge: Sand (Advanced Editing VII) Camera: Canon EOS-400D Rebel XTi Lens: Canon EF 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 Location: Isle of Palms SC Date: Jan 4, 2009 Aperture: 8 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/200 Date Uploaded: Jan 4, 2009 Add photograph to your favorites Add photographer to your favorites	Quite a lucky shot actually. I woke up this morning to major fog. I had to get photos printed for my art show and the store didnt open until 12 so I ventured to take some foggy pictures at the beach. There were so many seagulls that I couldnt help but photograph them. converted to black and white in photoshop and did a little burning. Played a little with the levels and midtone contrast.

Darn, I gave this an 8. It's excellent. Should have been top 10 for sure.

I like the monochrome, and the vanishing point, the reflected birds and the fog. Well composed
