[Mad Aussie]

A save I've just done on a shot of this Cormorant that had a terribly featureless, white sky. I found another old storm shot of mine and then set to work with loads of processing to create some believable lighting on the bird.

You should listen to my every word all the time ... everything I say so vitally important ;)
