Last summer, or maybe the one before, we took a tour of  abandoned lighthouses in the lower Delaware Bay. I forget which one this was;  here's not much left of it but it was covered in cormorants.

I was too impatient and my darks ran into my blues. I tried to fix it but it didn't work. 

The composition's not very good either ... I think I need to zoom in on the birds a bit more. And the horizon line is too hard so I'll just call this one practice. 

And more oyster shell practice.
