Birds on a Piling

This was taken last summer during our trip to North Carolina.  This piling is in the Cape Fear River, just off the river walk in Wilmington.  During this trip, I found the subject of the sea birds fascinating.  On this day the sky was flat, very overcast.  Rain was a definite possibility.  I cropped out a lot of scenery from across the river - mostly out of focus trees and greens.  I used Exposure Fusion to get some color in the sky.  This works well.
