This shot deserves to be up here despite what looks like some sloppy burning. Go NY! I've got to get back out to Coney Island. Good stuff to take photos of there.

Originally posted by glad2badad: The impression of a windy day is quite evident in your photo. Well done in that regard. The combination of seagulls in the wind and the waves coming in make a strong connection to the challenge. Technically, you're a bit blown out in the highlights, some flare is making the shoreline hazy in the distance (UV/Polarizer may have helped some along with a lens hood, even a hat). The biggest thing that is going to zap you on this is the slanted horizon. That just drives many photographers on this site crazy! :D Unfortunately it's slanted enough that it's evident to even the casual viewer. All of the above is JMO of course. Wish you luck in the challenge.

Man, it wasn't until I got this comment that I realized I had uploaded the wrong photo to the challenge. I had one where it was rotated correctly with a slightly better crop. Looking at them side by side it makes all the difference. As far as the lighting, I was shooting pretty much directly at the sun and in the original the foreground is extremely dark. This made for the interesting light in the photo and the lenses I had wouldn't have helped this. A gradient ND filter would have been good.

Now how's that for a spontaneous series. Great stuff. From the thumbnail I thought she was giving the finger to all those damn canadians.

I wonder how many legally blind people who visit dpc aren't even going to be able to figure out what this is. This scares me the more I look at it.

This is so simple and imperfect that I really like it.
