"Debbie!, are those pelicans?"
This photo was taken just before sunrise on Neptune Beach, Jacksonville, Florida.
2007, Nikon D80, Nikon 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5.
The two Pterosaurs are a pen in ink and airbrush drawing I made and photographed. Then both images were composited in Photoshop. In the original image of the beach scene, the woman on the far left had her left hand and arm in a position similar to her right arm.
In Photoshop I asked AI to reposition her left hand and arm to a position which looked like she was pointing at the Pterosaurs. Amazingly it worked the first time!
This made all the difference in the final photo. 2026.
