Dillon Beach, California...Yes, it's a composite.
Behrooz from Tehran, Iran
Interesting shot! These birds doesn't look real! What's going on here Craiger!?

@Behrooz: The birds are very real: just taken out of context. It is a composite of four different images shot at Dillon Beach the same day. Actually, both birds are the same bird. One is just flipped horizontally.

Looks like a giant beached sea monster there in the middle of the shot! Interesting shot Craiger, with alot going on. Nice work.

Like the surreal nature of the shot, including the 'crocodile' like weeds in the middle, good stuff Craiger

Your composite is almost an optical illusion...very well done!

Amazing pp work! I love the depth of the waves with Hailey... But with photography being so subjective I do have to admit I'd rather see this as two images with the cropping in the middle showing just the birds as one image and Hailey and the dog(s) as the other. Just a personal opinion. Your creative aptitude is always excellent. ;-D

@Amy: Hi Amy!
I did this shot about three years ago. And believe me, I know there is a lot wrong with it. Proportion and value being only two of many. But, do you really think that photography is subjective?

love it! - it looks like you are just down the "beach" from me - everything is so familiar - even if it is a composite

Crazy composition. Too good to be true, eh? I think Behrooz is right. These birds wouldn't stand facing away like that normally. Looks like the beginnings of Noah's ark.
