Caught this guy eating shellfish off Morro Bay.

Those are so cute!

Urp! Urp! Great shot!

Wish I could make out more of the facial features though...

Yeah, I was shooting almost directly into the sun, no matter where he dived, he seemed to come up with the sun in my lens. This has already had a pretty heavy battering with the levels tool.

Photoshop has a wonderful tool that acts as a fill flash. I did this in Elements. The tool is called just that, fill flash. Also used the back lighting feature to make the water darker after the fill flash.

I have no idea why it is not showing.

Ok fixed it! Wierd.. had to change the file name. I think it had a space in it which was causing some grief

Hi

In photoshop you go to image>adjustments>shadow/highlights
In Ps Elements is is called fill flash.

Thanks for the tip and great fix-up Petog

Edit: I fixed the file and replaced it on my website.

No probs Bob. I like your version better for reducing the shadows but the highlights should have been also reduced to relieve some of the waters reflections. Just my opinion.
