I was out for a walk along the coast a few weeks back with my wife and noticed these birds, possibly Shags. I had to stop because in my head I saw a lovely symmetrical composition in the water reflection and also the strong black triangle of the birds and rock in the big overcast white sea. The original photo is attached, you might not see much potential but "seeing" is a skill too! In this case, I saw the potential in an overcast scene because of the strong compositional elements present. I had to pre-visualise and use my imagination to make a picture in my head before I pressed the shutter button. I also had to whistle loud to get the top bird to turn around too! Photography requires lots of different skills, you never know when one might be called upon :) #mathieudecodtsphotography
