DN seals

[Matt]

After spending the last 2 months of weekends ripping out and refitting my kitchen,
This trip to Donna Nook was a welcome break.
Although it was quite cold when we arrived, we were greeted by a great sunrise,
Which has added some lovely warm tones to the piccies.

I've experimented with lightroom beta an these shots, so your thoughts would be appreciated on the processing. :thumbs:
