Taken locally today.

Marty - excellent capture and the desaturation treatment suits it well. I know Duke quite well and we now live very close to him too

Hey Geoff, I have wanted to shoot him for years, just didn't get around to it, although I walk past and drive past him most days.
So will I see you in the surf soon? Freshie usually has a nice break at the Sth end. And how dare you say desaturate  I always use channel mixer  What does that button do....??

I have since re-cropped the image to remove the rock behind him. The overall composition looks much better now (my opinion..!). Cheers Marty What does that button do....??
