 This picture was taken on the southern beach of Iceland close to a very isolated church called Strandakirkja. The sunset was at 4.30 pm. (phh… the daylight is very short these days). The night before we had some very strong winds and the sea had strong waves.
I worked on the picture in Lighroom and then in Photoshop. I used curves and and some dodging to lighten up the reflection on the sea.
This is my first entry to DPCallance competition. I don’t have high expectations but just wanted to try and see how I will do :-)

Very sweet with the wave, the bird and the sun. Love the minimalism.

I love sea birds ... that they live their entire life on or above the sea. This reminds me of that. Thanks.
