Exodus
Large View Recommended.
Not my usual fare… I was out hiking along the East Coast Trail near Quidi Vidi Lake when I looked up and saw a LOT of gulls getting out of dodge a hurry, so I spun and quickly snapped a shot. 20 seconds later a coast guard helicopter goes soaring on by… no wonder those gulls were in a rush!
Photo taken roughly here. :P
Heavily edited, processed, straightened, retouched, manipulated, kicked, and tortured. Also a light Orton effect.
I like it anyway.
RB’s compression and optimization does NOT reproduce a lot of muted greys well. There are no compression jaggles in the original RAW or JPEG.
