..Gull!

After seeing the runner-up image in the Birds section of WPoTY - well, all I gotta say is "if you don't enter you won't get anywhere Andy".

You never know it might even be the same gull....

Congrats to Jan van der Greef and all the winners and runners-up.

D3+70-200mm f2.8 @ 200mm

PP in that lightweight thing called Lightroom - ehh Nick

Love this sort of image Andy - unusual and artistic.

Would like to see the large version if it's not too late to post it ?

Hello Andy.

Works for me lovely image and love the motion you have captured in this.

Nice work.

Hi Andy,

It is always good to see something different. The dark water really helps given the light tones of the gull. The slightly sharper "triangular bit" above and behind the head catches my eye a touch. It's amazing how some part of the bird has stayed so still.

Cheers

Austin

I think this is superb. Beautiful motion, slight head turn, subtle colouration. A real wall-hanger.

I too like this sort of image Andy, very artistic, an in my opinion very hard to get right, I've tried and failed so far, lol. Very nice, got any eagles like this then?

Regards,
Paul Rosser.
