[Leica] Wind sewage and surf

I've been up to my eyes fighting a local planning aberration - hence my 
lacklustre recent photography - but had to take my camera to do 
something in relation to the appeal.

Because of a slight access difficulty, I decided to use one of my Pentax 
lens collection - the M series 2.8/120 on a Fotodiox adaptor. The lens 
seemed to work well enough on my various film Pentaxes, but I'm not too 
sure about it on the Sony. Maybe I'll have to upscale the adaptor 
quality? Thoughts? I'm also not excited by the Fotodiox on my Leica lenses.

This is virtually the same size as it came out of the camera, but tilted 
.05  to level the horizon and minimally cropped to lose the blank bits. 
The  image also had auto light levels applied, additional colour 
saturation boost of 8 and was sharpened to 41 all in PSE, as it 
certainly didn't look great straight out of the camera.

Kite surfing etc. taken at sewage outlet at West Pier, Dun Laoghaire, 
Co. Dublin close to Seapoint swimming area.
