The pier at the horizon
A long exposure shot taken near Southend, UK.
It may look as though the green hood has been self-coloured, but this is how it was in the original image - and if you look closely yopu can see colour in all the rest of the shot. I left the saturation of the main image alone, and just turned it up a small amount in the hat. Amazingly also, although this was a longish exposre shot, the bird barely moved. It did shake it's beak a bit, and that part is blurred, but the rest is pretty sharp.
