A flock of pelicans pulls up to the bar for a drink after a hard day at work cruising the beaches. The structure above is the lounge at the Conch House Marina. The outdoor deck with live music is pictured below. I thought the raw data of the image below had some potential but needed lots of work. It had to be cleaned up for public health reasons before it could be posted to the net. I can't remember what all I did to this pic in Photoshop besides cleaning the bird poop off the deck. There was part of somebody's head sticking up over the far end of the deck and a lady's foot was taken out at the far right. Some gaussian blur added, converted to b&w, dark areas brightened, and so on. Here's the original original straight from the camera.

Looks good. I appreciate your work all the more because I rarely go the extra mile (although I will crop a little more often). For instance, just look at my post from yesterday and you'll see a smidgen of roof overhang in the upper right corner of the second photo.

Looks lovely. Could almost tempt me to venture out of Santa Barbara! :-)
